If you want to play the same game over and over, there are plenty of those.

Live games are for ever-changing environments.

Fallout 76 didn’t ruin New Vegas

Ultima online wasn’t a “cancer” to the gaming industry

I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn’t get the abomination that is the latest two installments.

Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron’s Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can’t speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.

Just because he says it, doesn’t make it true. Right now we have ceos everywhere just saying “AI” in every statement to sound relevant.

And we already went through this moving from hand-drawn to computer animation.

Different games are made for different people. If you don’t find a genre or model fun, their existence doesn’t ruin anything for you.

Live service games have been around for decades.

The initialism is decades older than any iDevice. Go complain to people on USENET from before you were born.

I had no idea there was a shopping list app. We’ve been using Keep for that kind of list and it syncs pretty quick, but no idea about Home.

How many people clicked the phishing links in your college papers?

Keep down voting me, but I bet I’m the only one in this thread that’s actually played the game.

What part of it is unfinished? Also, it’s on game pass, so I paid nothing, and am playing a sequel to a game I love and spent 100s of hours on. Real evil ploy here.

I’m accepting it because I’ve played another dozen hours of a game I enjoy. CO spent 8 years updating the first game and I expect no less. Paradox isn’t some evil publisher, have you even played anything they’ve released?

Have you tried paying for YouTube premium? Or is there some 3rd definition of can’t you wanna make up?
