You’re not disagreeing with me. You’re agreeing and pretending it’s a different argument. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago It’s not just the economic model that’s pushing people to retro, it’s the creative direction as well.

Games you don’t own, 100GB downloads, forced online, and unfinished launches at full price isn’t “fun.” It’s just the current business model. Pointing that out doesn’t make someone old. It makes the people defending it sound like they’re allergic to basic ownership. Keep the SpongeBob meme though. It’s doing more work than the argument. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Almacca@aussie.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago That's only if you only play 'AAA' corporate lowest common denominator slop. permalink fedilink source parent
