I've completely given up on modern big-budget games. it feels like they all want to be the only game you play, especially contemporary multiplayer games. Disco Elysium, Cave Story, and System Shock 2 aren't trying to sell me booster packs or post-game content. Cocaine Diesel, Quake III Arena, and Team Fortress 2 don't demand that I log in every 24 hours for daily rewards. shit, the last AAA game that I bought was Prey, which came out, Jesus, six years ago? before that, Doom 2016 and Eternal. I haven't bothered with anything since*. I might snag Deathloop at some point, but. eh.
*well I did preorder the system shock remake but like. that's a remake of an old game,
