It's not about convenience, it's about how we're giving up control of our lives.
Nobody cares that GTA 6 costs $100 without a disc. They care about what it means.
It means they can cut off your access at any time. Any TOS violation, a gamer word, or bad social media post and poof.
It means they can sunset the game forever, whenever they want. Stop Killing Games? Ya they squashed that.
It means you own nothing. You are a renter, and we see that happening everywhere, not just in gaming.
Buying stuff used to meant owning it and having it forever to use as you please.
It's not just games. It's computers, cars, everything has a license, a subscription. And right to repair? To fix your stuff instead of being forced to buy a new thing? Gone, dude.
Taken away forever.
Many of you will trade convenience for that...because it turns out we will trade anything for convenience, even our privacy and data...
And for what? Trinkets - Free social apps...cheaper games via Game Pass, the list goes on. Turns out we can be subjugated cheaply.
But it's a bag bargain, long-term. Digital serfdom.
I'm not immune from this, it's hard to escape. I'm there too...but it sucks.
You know it's a Korean game when the default character looks this stylish right out of the gate!✨ 😍

I will post my thoughts about this game later as I play it more
Compulsion Games alienated their core team when they brought on SBI to consult on South of Midnight.
I had multiple former team members inform me of swaps to the main character and a culture of fear.
They used to be a good studio, but DEI ruined them. Now they are gone.
Fable is a game to eradicate the history of medieval Britain
Gamers, the situation in western AAA is concerning, wokeness everywhere!
This is what Fable would look like if it were developed by an Eastern AAA game studio
Embrace tradition, reject wokeness!
XBOX has an entire website devoted to DEI guidelines for their games.
There is an explicit rule about not having exaggerated body proportions for female characters and to make sure they are girl-bosses.
XBOX will never be great again until they take down these rules.
The complete inability to render ONE decent looking female character in Fable needs to be studied.
Seriously, this is ridiculous.
And they will tell you it's a "technology and lighting" problem.
I want more games like Crimson Desert.
I want less of the over worked AAA feel that 007 First Light delivers.
I'm tired of people talking to you in earpieces.
Lore dumps as you go for long walks/rides.
Press A to advance being the peak gameplay.
The absolute dumbing down of everything and rounding every corner for game journalists.
The going backwards: less interactivity, less gameplay, less world responding richly.
I'm tired of movies pretending to be games.
I love Crimson Desert because it does the opposite. It leans into doing things, engaging with the world, and yes, difficulty. You can go out and find fun in so many things.
It doesn't spoon feed you. It rewards you for exploring, overcoming and interacting.
Too much AAA today just wants you to sit and watch.
🇯🇵 I have to admit that as a Japanese person there is something very beautiful watching the Ubisoft stock completely collapse after they disrespected us with their game "Assassins Creed Shadows".
I pray for their bankruptcy in the near future.
