This is /v/, which means this post is behind over 9000 layers of sarcasm.
All of which this platform will be oblivious to, because Lemmy just doesn’t do satire.
Lemmy hates the shit out of satire lol
And 4 years on, I still can’t figure out whether it’s because of neurospiciness or divergent interests. Linux? 471 communities. Writing? 2 and the mods of the second one abandoned their accounts years ago
You know, maybe if you could buy physical disks and cards of games that dont require internet access (unless it has specific online features like trade, battles, co-op, etc) And the games were actually good and not corporate slop then maybe we’d want them
I out an origonal halo 2 disc into a brand new xbox a couple of years ago. It refused to read it. My switch wants me to pay a subscription to play SNES games. As it turns out everything after the 3ds and the 360 was a mistake.
That sucks, I can still play original disks on my PS2 (excellent system btw)
It’s the enshitification of triple AAA titles fucking slapping surcharges on EVERYTHING; day one dlc, microtransactions, always online DRM, the ability to revoke access to the shit we pay for, it’s death by 1000 cuts. EVERY anti-consumer action, every attempt to squeeze more of us while delivering the same rehashed shit over and over. Yup I will keep playing my old consoles and the games I own. The intent of us withholding our money and refusing to purchase your shit is to provide publishers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for retaining their customer base.
