If you're unhappy with this game then unsub... forever.

What is fun for you may not be the same as what is fun for someone else.

I would guess that many people gauge fun on weather or not they are enjoying themselves while they play the game.

The business end of the game is an afterthought to them if they even think about it.

Yes some people do want something mindlessly easy which is why so many games have a creative mode setting (3 that come to mind Minecraft, 7DTD, NMS).

So no I really don't think the things you are most concerned about have a darn thing to do with which game many people choose. All they care about is if they are enjoying themselves.

If they enjoy themselves shoving cash into dev's pockets for half-finished, bug-ridden, difficulty-absent games then gaming is doomed. If they enjoy being taken advantage of and treated like money pinatas then we are lost. I am glad Baldur's Gate 3 exists, to show new gamers what a game could be. To show them they don't have to accept being taken advantage of.

To your mind all those nasty things are true.

To their minds they are getting decent value for their money since they are enjoying themselves.

To my mind the game that just released something truly innovative in the MMORPG group right now is actually a very old one LOTRO. They allow you to pick your difficulty from the moment you roll your character. and the entire world scales to that. Everything from "mobs fall over if you breath on them" to..."I cant even finish a starting quest without a group." If they make this work this is game changing. Mind you that is not a game you would be interested in since it has a pretty aggressive cash shop. Still they came up with something that could be very important going forward in MMORPGs.

I THRIVE on these corporate bootlickers.

Endwalker is lacking. BU3 is showing it's tired. SquareEnix as a company practices crunching. The product we are getting is not nearly what it should be considering how the company throws money at other projects. If anything the cash shop sells and sells, and the game gets cuts and cuts. Then again between forsaken and FFXVI not being the bang they anounced, probably we will see even more cuts in the future... Dawntrail will quickly become the retirement expansion instead of the vacation one.


But someone will white knight. A gatekeeper that will not the unfair, the uninformed, the uncultured haters and trolls in. Oh thank you ever brilliant knight in shining armor! Always remind us for the vigintillion time how yoshida saved the game and thus is not able of nothing bad ever!
