I don’t have the same time to devote to gaming as I did during my “golden years” so I mostly just follow the big releases that get the most media coverage. That is definitely a me problem. I’m mostly just venting. I just now finally beat red dead redemption 2 so I have plenty of backlog to catch up on.
It’s as much nostalgia pining for what Call of Duty was around the time of vCod and MoH:AA when it used to beat genre defining instead of just another money pit.
The other part is my disgust as a parent of how predatory monetization is in popular kids games these days. Putt Putt didn’t have any season passes or mtx dammit
