      True, but ain’t that a bit unfair for you to say? Do you not play games? Or watch stuff?

      Isn’t this a “you complain yet you live in a society.” Or whatever.

      I also grew up playing games. I won’t stop. And yes, while getting fisted, I’ll complain. You wouldn’t tell someone not to scream when getting attacked.

        My solution is to not have/buy a console (and the DS screen starts to be too small) and I’m on Linux.

        Which means I don’t buy 80€ games.

        That’s people’s problem, they must consume this new branded thing, again and again. Think about it, you have a million people buying whatever shit you make just because of brand/publicity, it will become more important to have the brand going, making the right publicity, than making an extraordinary game.

        That said, I’d kill for a sweet semi turnbased “nineties” rpg. I do not play many games, they are rare on linux 😔.

            Thanks, but is sure looks way too 3D run around for my taste (it’s not turnbased, right?) I just checked the trailer.

          the things they were complaining about in the top comment go beyond consoles, they are a problem with PC games too. even on steam and linux. you’d have to buy exclusively from DRM free platforms like GOG.

          also games are not that rare in linux, most work well via steam.

            Or just pirate them, ezpz, especially if you already don’t morally agree with the publisher.

        I mean i quit playing games in 2020ish because im sick of getting ripped the fuck off. I don’t watch tv or movies, either, anymore because it’s all sequels and garbage.

        Join me and let these industries suffer.

          Good for you. And I mean that.

          I don’t buy enough games to really be impacted. Bf6 and Helldivers have been the most recent. I also use bf6 and HD to play with my best friend who is 4 states away.

          But like I said…I literally was playing bf1 and titanfall all the way to bf6 with no other games bought. I don’t got a lot of time. I play 1 or 2 games a year and be content with that.

          But really good for you. More power to you. I’ll try to fight it in another way.

      Isn’t this literally victim-shaming? It’s not just game companies doing it, after all. What’s the alternative, to go live alone in the wilderness and not participate in society at all??
