The reason gaming "sucks" now is because gaming as a whole is now taken seriously to the point where major investors have the final word on games, not those who actually play them. Back when games were kinda a niche hobby? well its now a lucatrive "hobby" for companies to milk and have the content we actually want behind a paywall.

[thatsastick]

Microtransactions for Geoguessr is insane. That’s like if you had to pay a subscription for the Google Dinosaur Game.

[xxStrykerGaming]

20:50 Dr. Disrespect founded MINOR studios?!??!?!?!! Bro fr was always a predator.

[mistersalesman]

Can we just start calling them what they are now? Macrotransactions.

[OJ]

Cold storage sucked that build up was crazy

[kecaeygaming]

In Belgium, lootboxes and gatcha mechanics are banned but it is not enough. Games like Genshin Impact simply don't exist there because the developers don't mind if only a couple of countries are forbidding it. We need the EU to make such decisions. A whole continent not playing your game is another story.

Wizard101 is quite awful. What's worse is that the game is marketed for kids and is advertised as free-to-play, yet 10 levels in you get hit with a paywall and can't progress the story unless you fork over some money.

[Jack-ovmb]

The high ranking guy with default skins is always the scariest mf in the lobby, if he's not a cheater, he came out to PLAY

[PrinceChris]

Unpopular opinion, but if I pay full price for a game, I feel that I should get everything included in that game… Imagine if you bought a car and they told you “oh, it’s gonna cost you a subscription fee to activate your seat warmers”

[novataco]

Star Citizen has to be *the* worst micro transaction ever. $48, 000 is beyond indefensible.

[wayge]

One of the worst imo was paying for plays in Guitar Hero Live

[knightwolf]

games $60.00 = full game
microtractions 1 outfit = $200.00

[Dankneefantum]

had a buddy that used to spend ATLEAST $300/month on Fallout Shelter for a solid year and a half straight, all while complaining ab his aunt and uncle who he still lived w 🤦‍♂️

[justin]

8:13 343 definitely took the cake with that line. When your selling halo reach helmets and the color pallet. Ya, that's down bad.

[MechaAkuma]

Surprised you didnt mention Star Citizen. Has DLC ships for literally thousands of dollars, for a game that isnt even finished

[luanilsonlima]

This is what happens when investors become the final voice of games, not developers.

[jasonblundelldobebussing]

Yes, it *IS* the worst time to be alive. Now MTX is everywhere. And the companies are out of control because the masses are, for some reason, ok with this. The people need to understand that the only way to counter that — is by voicing your opinion with your wallet. Remember, as a customer you deserve better.

[maxis]

WHAT did Dr. Disrespect name that studio?

[DerKlemm-Crafter]

I'm really bummed to see what GeoGuesser became :(.

I was heavily invested into Destiny. Both time wise, and financially. Started out playing D1 Beta on ps3- enjoyed it so much and bought it on Xbox 360. I played it for several hundred hours. Bought it on the Xbox One and again invested hundreds of hours buying all of the dlc that came out for 20.00 a piece. I pre ordered D2 and loved it, but it got to the point where to grind all of the content was too overwhelming when they were churning out dlc faster and faster. It just got to the point where it just wasn’t healthy stressing over completing everything before the new dlc came out. It was hard to stop playing Destiny, but I felt free when I just stopped playing it.
