As someone who is involved in that space, I agree and don’t find that to be an unpopular opinion. Most people ive talked to about it understand they are one in the same, they just find youtube drama more interesting because some of them really are just normal people.

Thats how I feel. Casual is essentially ranked without having any visual indicators of what rank you are. Also the mess it creates when trying to play with friends of way a lower skill level

Came to say exactly this.

What an absolute banger. Been in my playlist since shortly after release.

100% There are a few companies now that have there own launchers and if they force me to use them I just dont purchase their games.

No, not a given you are right. But regardless whether its on par with skyrim I’m interested in what they do the same way I was with fallout 4 despite not thinking that game was particularly good myself.

Mods exist now and have since day one. They’ve already made the game much better, but you are right they arent great yet cause they dont have the GECK. I do like to have a sort of “vanilla” playthrough before super mods. I didn’t clarify that.

This is why I bought it really. I never expected it to be good. But always enjoy what the community can do.

You could watch best friends play. They dont make new content but if you havent seen any of it there is plenty to watch. Sad they are gone though

Eating out isn’t exactly frugal but if you are going to get fast food and they have an app I’d recommend using it cause you can get some pretty good deals. I often get half off a meal which makes those rare times I decide to eat out that much cheaper.
