Haven't played since 2020 (thanks pandemic for helping me <3) and it was already pretty shitty then.
They had a nice resurgence in 2019 (when I started playing) and took that as an incentive to nickel and dime even more

Still have the Trial of the Sword quest from BOTW to finish before going to kick sludge Ganon's ass.
Finally I managed to play and not lose interest, which is great, because I was mega hyped when it was announced.
And it is an amazin game (even if I still love A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess better)
I think I use too many on Firefox ahahah

Yeah, could actually be a cool feature
Yeah, it sounded more like an Anthem situation, where for most of the project everybody was just fucking around wasting the company's money, until the owner put the foot down and forced them to actually work on it and finish the game, quality be damned
Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi
Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn't mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment
Oh yeah. The reason AAA gaming is so shit right now, full of nickle and dimming everywhere, is because we have allowed it over the years.
It's the same with the internet in general.
We allowed ourselves to get fucked, accepting every little "it's a tiny change, it's for the better" with nothing more than a tiny moan.
We gave these companies our data, our money, and our time, and let them free to control the markets as they see fit.
Why shouldn't they think we are gullible and easy to manipulate into defending their greed?
Wasn't the Disney stuff under Trump's administration?
It seems Biden (from an outside perspective, as I am not from the US) is at least trying to reign in companies a bit, so this block isn't that surprising.
The EU decision surprised me more, but I can understand their arguments.
As a gamer, this could be great in the short term, with Activision-Blizzard getting good leadership and hopefully new games from franchises which are not CoD or Diablo.
Medium/Long term, it could be awful, with Microsoft getting more and more market share and then turning around and fucking us in the ass really hard after they lock us in their ecosystem
