It’s no secret that the bulk of AAA games market revenues come from in-game purchases , mostlyfrom live-service games. It’s also impossible to ignore that the live-service market is fiercely competitive....

    I don’t play many FPS games full stop. The ones I did play added a bunch of elements I didn’t like (Destiny, Overwatch, etc). Since they don’t make up the predominant portion of games I play, I can’t say it’s surprising to me.

    Others have complained about the number of “mouth breathing kids” and I can’t really fault them for that. The number of people in online games with no filters, who play loud music, or have family drama going on around them on hot mic is too high. The number of people who are rude or worse is also too high.

    There’s something, though, to be said for the kinds of games that are just more popular because they encourage a story and or exploration or both.

    Well when I was a teenager I liked pvp games. Now I don’t. I assume when they’re adults some of them will feel the same, probably

    I need another Uncharted style game. I don’t want another always online, micro transaction filled, lootbox earning grindfest filled with people who wish cancer on your mother because you don’t play as well as they think you should

      Don’t forget invasive anti-cheat components that can reduce performance, introduce security risks into your kernel, might be spying on everything else for all we know, and still fail to prevent people from cheating.

    My interest in anything online was gone the moment my Destiny group that came together to have fun was yelling at me because I was dying in a raid and laughed about it. Even Rocket League became too serious.

    Yeah I’m not buying a game so the 13 year old mouth breathers can yell racist misogyny at me because I don’t make the game the fulcrum of my existence.

    Give me a Metroid where it’s me, alone, vs a hostile world, and my thoughts.

      Same, I was tired of having my ass handed to me then being tea bagged by preteens talking shit about my lack of skills and/or my mother. Excuse me for not playing FPSs eight hours every day after school like you, good Sir Acne.
