Oh, they still do that, now it’s just nefarious and hidden behind concepts like FOMO and season passes

Yeah I love the fact that in this game, the message was just for the sake of it, while nowadays it would be in order to keep the person playing it addicted to whatever skinner box is integrated into the gameplay loop.

Both of the examples you give are Id - and to be honest, I feel like this was always more of an Id thing than it was an overall trend

Yeah that’s very much id’s old 90’s machismo. This is the company that invented the word “gibbitude” in Ultimate Doom’s flavor text xD

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri would vocalise “Please don’t go. The drones will miss you. They look up to you” when you go to quit.

Old games had a soul. Modern games have microtransactions.

Only Indie games nowadays give me a feeling of getting into something that is made out of love, and not solely for money.
