Could make that argument for every genre though. Racing games will always fundamentally be about making a vehicle get to a finish line before the other ones, etc. Applies outside of games, too. Music, books, film, if you set the bar for innovation that high then we just all stop doing art.

Oh that’s what’s been happening.

What do you propose a first person shooter features, if not guns? Non-violent FPS games exist like Splatoon, but those are still guns. Bows are an option, but that’s still projectile-based violence.

I probably hate it less than most people but it doesn’t excuse bad design. Warframe, for instance, requires you to always be online - but if your instance is set to Solo, you can pause the game.

Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it’s 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

I know I’ve instinctively opened Sync a couple times already. I assume a lot of people who use reddit are lurkers as well, who don’t really pay any attention to the quality of the homepage and will just browse like nothing changed.

Clearly the data is wrong. Switches Jane, who owns three hundred million switches, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Jailbait

Given how long ago this experiment was, it really recontextualizes their current stance. They are moving to eliminate all access to their site that isn’t the official app.
