I know it's a thing generally these days because of how shit multiplayer especially has gotten but if I see something that's 'online' now I don't want anything to do with it. Every new release it's the same story, they can barely be called games anymore they're more like a live service with some minor gameplay elements tacked on in the most half-arsed way imaginable. That goes for a lot of supposedly singleplayer releases as well depending on the company.
I think I'd much rather pour my free hours into something like Microsoft Flight Simulator because then I'd at least gain a valuable skill from it and I've also found myself delving back into the good stuff that was the early 2000's releases. Even if you see something that looks vaguely promising it inevitably gets annihilated by the DEI contractors that plague this industry now.
It's extremely ironic that the games industry is trying to cater to anybody who isn't a gamer and they seem to be all mentally ill weirdos to one degree or another who have an addiction problem and fleece them for all their money before moving onto the next cringey fad. I'm sorry for coming across too black pilled, but if a game does well it seems like that developers will go out of their way to ruin it because yet again, they've shown that gamers do not matter and we're nothing more than a vehicle for hype to get their product into the normie sphere who just want to college digital items all day instead of play the fucking game.
I haven't bought anything new for a while, I stopped playing R6 seige years ago because it got WAY too sweaty to being unfun to play.
I was interested in Helldivers 2 till Sony fucked it up, the main multiplayer I play is Warframe as despite some lefty pandering (they are based in Canada) they don't screw over their players as they came close to screwing up years ago but ever since they made one Dev called Pablo creative director I've gotten so many quality of life and fun updates that I've been happy to keep playing.
A lot of FPS multiplayers lost their charm for me years ago as they seem infected too much with the 'wring out every cent' mentality for their player base and too sweaty a mentality for playing it. I just wish I could have AC multiplayer again so that I can have a competitive game where patience and observation is rewarded more over pixel shots.
