This is what I hate with the state of the gaming industry now. They’ve instilled the mindset in me, where there are games I would’ve ideally love to get and play. But, the skepticism of my mind is ever-churning, so I’m working around to find out what about the game that I will not like about it than there is to like about it. Like whether the game was made by a studio who’ll be shut down later because of unrealistic expectancies. Whether the game is going to one day be free-to-play.
Just so many guesses and it’s robbed me of the simple concept of just getting a game, playing it and enjoying it. That’s what the gaming industry has done, is bastardize what I should be looking for out of games. Because the industry just fucks one thing up after another every damn year from shutting down studios, passing up on better projects in favor of this shitty ass live-service, MTX ridden one and flaunting how well they’ve taken advantage of every gullible “GAMURRR” that wastes their money on feeding into the shit that is served to them.
I think that’s where Indie games have really stepped in. There’s been a lot of good indie games that are just a nice complete experience on their own. And with them being so much cheaper it’s harder for AAA games to compete.
