I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

As a fan of the Diablo franchise, I knew D4$ was going to be complete dogshit, so I never bought it. Every time I watch one of the professional streamers complain, I laugh my ass off. I think Hawg had it right; their plan is to dribble content to the player base a little at a time as a money grab.

Don't look at me. I learned my lesson back with Batman: Arkham Knight.

How about people spend their own money on whatever they want because it's none of your business

I've had a good experience so far, so, no.

The only game I ever considered pre-ordering was Hogwarts legacy. I've always loved the world of Harry Potter, and it looked like everything I've ever asked for. I was going to pre-order it, but I wasn't able to, for financial reasons. Then the game came out, and after watching a video I was like... Oh, this is boring. I learned my lesson.

You'd probably like the first part of the game when you're in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The problem is everything after that.

I primarily play indie games anyways, so this doesn't really apply to me.

It's the same with lifestyle and politics. The "woke" people I know that talk about anti capitalist ideology but then buy the dumbest novelty shit and junk food you can imagine, not as a need but as a want. Shit, I had "woke" person whole heartedly defend marvel superhero movies as if it was a fight against hunger and natural right.

When I say woke, I mean anyone that uses the term woke seriously. I do not mean actual kind hearted down to earth open-minded progressive people.

there's a lot of fun in being the first to figure something out... (like cod zombies easter eggs)
plus a lot more people to play with online in the beginning...
also, these muppets are how the games get tested and completed by the time you get it...

Software companies used to accomplish that with limited betas and release candidates without charging money for broken, half-ass shit.
