So I see this game. Let me sum up what I actually see:

  • Reviews are mixed: not a great start
  • Requires 3rd-party account: fuck that
  • 60 euros base game: expensive, especially when the game has mixed reviews
  • 175 euros DLC’s: are you fucking kidding me? On top of 60 euros for the base game, there’s another 175 fees for content?
  • purchasable CoD points: so pay to win?

And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.

This is just a random example. I’ve quit playing COD after Modern Warfare.

To end this positively: I recently started playing Necesse which is really nice, and I started playing an old time favorite again after a long time: World of Goo. Both worth my money :)

      Not fully true. Yes a lot of games run on Windows… But a lot of them also run on Linux, in some cases even Native, in other cases using Wine/Proton from Valve. See: https://www.protondb.com/

      A lot of online pvp games do work under Linux as well. But then again… AAA games are the most problematic… because they just stuck, and get ignored by the devs/publishers. I’m looking at you EA!
