Granted: Whatever state of development that the game is in at the time chosen is the version that you will play.

If you attempt to play the game again at a later time, you will hear, "You have already chosen when to play this game, and that time has passed."

Granted. They now all have free-to-play mechanics so you can play them freely. Ads between levels. Limited inventory space. Gatcha pulls. Artificial difficulty spikes. Cosmetics. Loot boxes.

Oh god nooo please no I was able to find some that I liked.

Granted. However, you feel a profound sense of dissapointment with them all, no game can ever truly satisfy you ever again.

You can play the game, but not complete it. Every game is a demo that ends 1/3 of the way into the game.

You have to play them with the appropriate Younger Brother controller. You know the kind.

A full library of all the games on the world, but none of them would be worth playing.

Granted, but journalists learn of this power and start harassing you for information on what games will be good. It gets to the point where you're not sure whether even your closest friends are just using you.

You attempt to play Half Life 3 and get stuck on a neverending countdown screen.

All the characters have been modded out to be Shrek and Donkey.

Every 3 minutes a baby donkragon flies into the scene.

Sounds like they made every game in existence even better.

[-] SGforce@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

You cannot skip any cutscenes

Granted. Without limitations, you soon become addicted to gaming and it takes a devastating toll on your social, mental, and physical health, resulting in a life of unfulfillment and ennui.

Granted.

You can play every game, ever made, in a free manner.

However, aside from your manner being free, nothing else has changed.
