really appreciate that post about how games aren’t dead just bc they don’t have continual updates and shit bc if there was one thing that pissed me off about the way popular discourse around DNF Duel went it was the way its detractors all focused on the fact that it didn’t release with a fully fleshed out DLC roadmap or whatever
for real dude, like it didn’t matter what the game actually had (at the very least it had a better online infrastructure than any of its contemporaries because it actually fucking worked) because it’d always come down to the lack of major content updates or whatever. Even now that the game is advertising two brand new system mechanics, the response is “shame you didn’t do this six months ago!”
and it’s like damn bro, do you really live like this? Like it’s one thing to pull out the steam charts player numbers to inflate your ego bc you picked the right game to go 0-2 in at locals, but you can’t even enjoy a game if it doesn’t have a steady drip feed of shiny new toys for you every 4-8 weeks? Do you have Subway Surfers in the corner of the game screen, too? Are you okay?
