The internet ruined gaming. All the bad things about gaming started during PS3/360. That is why GTA6 will never release cause GTA online keeps making billions. I called tjis back when COD blew up.

AAS equels As a Service. They are using video games to push that business model and people keep giving them money even for trash like Fortnite. That is why games like Ragnarok are needed. I will be picking up that Hogwarts, Forspoken and Star Wara too. All we can do is support games like that.

Mobile gaming is advertising and micro transactions disguised as games.

I haven't encountered it yet. But it may be different on PC than consoles and I'm on PC.

Never bought dlc, never will.
It started out innocent enough but I was never ok with it. Give me a full game at launch, charge me what's needed, and fuck off. Once I buy a game I don't want to hear from the developers until another, complete, game is released years later.
Little did mfs know dlc was just the start. Microtransactions and live service games are just the spawns of dlc. Who knows what's next and how else they'll sneak into your wallets.

Bruh, online gaming was a thing back as far as '94-'95 on the PC. Most FPS games, RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft, MMO's, etc were all playable online and had huge communities for years before the PS3/360 had even been imagined. Nah, what ruined it was greed, same as what ruined the internet in general. Someone saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it and the ideas spread.

Please say the Baby
DLC in its infancy wasn't to bad withmw2 i believe.. then someone figured out hold up lets sell insignificant virtual trinkets and the floos gates opened
It definitely out a damper on it... nigas paying for what came free with the completion of the game..
Then there is pay to win.. in your maddens and 2ks
If you got kids Roblox is like child support
But yes the gaming community doesnt play anyof the games in the spirit that they were meant to play in at large .. the proliferation of you tubers you break games all day provide metas have dampened the general multiplayer gaming experience.

Yeah that was PC and back then it was niche. Console gamers would have never payed for that stuff until Live/PSN made it mainstream. COD specifically made it successful.
Most people have been desentisized to it after that. Remember Sega and MS had paid online but PS2 dominated and most people did not jave the network adaptor for PS2.
Once both went online out the box with PS3/60 it was a wrap. Those business plabs were created when these companies saw the succesd of MWF.
I am not denying the greed but they took advantage of the opportunity as companies always do when customers allow it.

You can't call it niche when there were literally millions of people playing these games online. Quakeworld (Quake 1 with better networking) had crowded servers across the planet, all FREE. Same for Quake 2, Blood, Sin, Command and Conquer, etc and by 2000 a lot of them were accessible via the also free GameSpy.
People all over the globe were playing these games. Starcraft took on a life of it's own in Korea with online players from that one country being the best to walk the earth. Y'all cats on consoles only became aware of it with the XBox 360 and PS3 but by that time PC gamers had already enjoyed a decade or more of online gaming.
The best part, tho, was it was all FREE. I'm STILL able to get matches on Unreal Tournament and that shit was released in '99! There are still Quakeworld servers still active to this day, and them shits was released at the end of '96. And it's still FREE.
A lot of us in the PC gaming community looked at console gamers as crazy for ever paying for online gameplay. Like y'all were getting straight up ripped off and happy to get ripped off.
