than being treated like poo poo by some douche canoe who decided to put Darth Vader behind a 40 hours grind. Or the best content in Destiny behind a 2 hours multiplayer only activity.

I loving envy all the people who keep playing From games years after they landed in the market. Or Xcom. Or anything. I can only keep playing Elite Dangerous, which is good but shallow.

Games should have higher assets and their scripts to be made more consistent from their developers, not modders. I want official expansions for Flight Simulator from Microsoft and not require 200$ of mini dlcs to be installed from seven different vendors and in a certain order otherwise I need to reinstall everything from scratch.

Why I can pay for premium food or clothing or cars but I can't buy some videogame that is not "Verizon the customer service" but in videogame form?

You could be like me and pay 100 dollars up front every year for the new call of duty game, only to wait for them to let you download the full game over the course of the next year (and by the time it's finished, the next one will be coming out soon and everyone will quit and go to that one).

I don't care if a game makes me unlock things, it's non-free DLC that's the problem.

There is no grind. Just accept that the game actually costs $2000, not $60.

imagine learning a skill, or an instrument, or pursuing knowledge you are passionate about, or making new friendships with people you'll hold in your heart for a lifetime

instead you sit at home in your squalor worrying about (and sometimes playing) video games and not realizing how big of a waste of time it is

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I've never paid more than $60 for a game. And most games I get for $30 or less.

they bring enjoyment to their owners and in a lot of cases also have trade / resale value depending on supply and demand. they have value, just not to you

There's also like a gazillion companies straight up embezzling money over it, because their target audience are dumb teenage boys (or grownups lol) with zero experience of handlig money like adults.

I don't know why this marketing works on me but it does every time. You don't want to know how much money I've blown on loot boxes/similar things in various games. Whatever you're thinking it's probably higher.

well before this loot box stuff, almost all of the money I made in guild wars was from getting these dumb bags with 99.95% garbage and the chance at something amazing, then selling them off for way more than they were worth on average. pawning them off was incredibly quick and easy. gambling just breaks some people's brains
