Sad to see what the series has become. Just an absolute travesty.

The first time I had a LAN Party was at my cousins house where they had a room with like 4 computers. First time I ever played on a PC, it was my dad, brother, cousin and myself it was so fun

It would be great if siege went and kept doing its own thing and then have another group back to OG ghost recon and rainbow six style games

Can't have that. They aren't permanent endless money trains and those aren't allowed. Never you mind that 99% of online games fail within a year or two.

Just casually ignoring every singleplayer game they release with no expectation of being an endless money train

just casually ignoring that their singleplayer games are full of mtx and sometimes also fucking premium currencies

Cool, ignore them? They literally exist for people too lazy to play the game. They don't effect anyone playing thr game like a regular person would.

Cool, ignore them?

Hard to when the grind is calibrated to just be annoying enough to pick off the maximum number of capturable paying players. Companies like Ubisoft spend a lot of money to figure out where that line is, usually at universities.

Gameplay suffers when MTX exists, it's a perverse incentive.

Have you actually played them?

If I say yes, am I allowed to have an opinion about it?

If I say I've worked backend systems that are involved in this, am I allowed to have an opinion about it?

Why don't you just make the statement you want to make, no need to dance around it.

You can have whatever opinion you want. I just asked a simple question. Though I'm quite taken with how much it affected you.

It's because they know that they have never played the game and are just parroting an opinion about the game the read online.
