The gaming industry is absolutely sending me right now. Every year it's the same story — AAA studios release a game that looks like a PS1 and plays like 2005, and critics call it "lazy" while indie devs get shafted for making games that are actually innovative. And don't get me started on microtransactions. I'm not even kidding, some of these games cost more than the console itself now.
The thing is, people keep playing. They keep dropping $100 on battle passes and skins they'll never use. Why? Because F2Pedia will tell them it's a good game once it hits 8k reviews. By the time they realize they've been scammed, another game has already replaced it at #1 on the store.
And the worst part? The devs know exactly what they're doing. This is planned obsolescence. They release season after season of content just to keep you in their ecosystem. It's a casino disguised as a video game.
