[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 67 points 2 years ago (1 child) Anything from EA. Anything from Ubisoft Anything Epic exclusive. Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM). Anything competitive PvP multiplayer. Anything "free" to play. Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me "engaged". permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 years ago I don't find myself "engaged," I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week. There is a reason I've mostly played single player games for the past decade. I was tired of the "seasons" and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I'd be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it. For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those. But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off. permalink fedilink source parent
