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.
fucking lol you're not even reading what I've posted properly and also I'm not annoyed, that's another thing I'm starting to thoroughly lambaste people on because if you think you can discern emotion from text you need to go outside. That's something that triggers the fuck out of me because then it turns into a stupid argument about whether or not I'm feeling an emotion and they think they're a psychiatrist when they're just not. It also by the way makes you ripe for trolling.
I never posted anything about being childish, I posted you were blaming your personal problems on video games. You know something, I have actually read material from the 'anti-gamer' crowd and people who have given up on it and it's like they're claiming they're giving up drugs when in reality all it is that they couldn't moderate their life properly and they're seeking out something to blame that isn't them because they realised they were such monumental fuckups. There are plenty of people out there who are playing video games and you wouldn't even suspect it.
Regarding video games generally, even cross party psychologists all agree video games have nothing to do with anything. They have not been able to find a single bit of evidence to suggest it either causes violence, sexism or any kind of addiction problems. Anybody who does have a problem usually has some kind of personal addiction issue that would inevitably end up on drugs or alcohol if it wasn't video games.
That's why as well they try and get mentally ill people hooked onto gatcha games or games with loot boxes because they fucking know people who would have an addiction problem with gambling will latch onto that. However the issue of gambling mechanics in video games is an entirely separate thing to games in general that don't have any of that.
Stopped reading your long ass cope post in the first sentence. You are some kind of nonsense machine apparently.
You're incapable of understanding context and now you're trying to act like that's some kind of retarded 'win' against me, stop being a redditor.
Whatever you say queer
