Nope.

It astonishes me that this sort of thing is even possible. It speaks to the moronic nature of the average consumer. I'm so glad I have a massive backlog and could not care less about being in the current broader gaming conversation. I'm tempted to *NEVER* buy this game, just on principle. I'll certainly wait until it's sub $10, if I ever pick it up.

This kind of garbage combined with companies releasing "AAA" games in broken beta states (Pokemon, Saints Row (supposedly, I haven't played it)) and the constant porting & re-re-remastering games w/ minimal improvements & selling them at full price again - it's definitely enough to make you want to give up on modern gaming.

You're going to have to give me a tldr (watch ). I'm not going to watch an hour and a half video about this subject, lol. The bottom line for me is that greedy company is greedy. And I won't support those practices.

Yeah, or at the very least give us a timestamp for where the relevant part of the conversation takes place. My podcast days are far behind me.

I didn’t watch the whole video, either. I only watched the beginning which basically covered what you were all saying including argyle’s take on modern AAA games.
