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 video but plays like 2007, and nobody cares enough to say anything because they're too scared of being canceled. Meanwhile indie devs make stuff that's actually fun for free on itch.io.
And let's talk about microtransactions. It's not a business model anymore, it's a hostage situation. You buy the full game in 2014 and feel like you're playing Farkle every time you want to use a special skin. The worst part? They literally track your playtime so they can tell when you're about to drop off and show you an ad or nag you to spend money to keep going.
And don't even get me started on the EULA. "By playing this game, you agree to..." — we haven't agreed to anything yet! The devs own their servers, the modding community owns the code, and suddenly you're reading Terms of Service that were written by someone who's never held a controller in their life.
What do I know? I'm just a guy making videos about this stuff people ignore.
