I never buy early access. People who pay for half a game are the problem. (lemmy.world)

I legit am scared about Microsoft attempting to acquire Nintendo. They're the only developer left that isn't on this enshittification train to hell. Even Nintendo-adjacent developers (GameFreak/"The Pokemon Company") are falling into these traps.

I just want to buy a $70 game that's feature-complete and isn't full of tricks of human psychology to try and wring another $150 out of me later...

Not every fucking game has to be a monthly service. Why the FUCK would I ever pay a console company $X/month to access my own fucking internet?

Fuck Microsoft. Fuck modern game studios. Return to monke. Buy Indie titles.

I'm not sure you understand. There is basically zero chance of Nintendo being bought by Microsoft, I mean actually almost literal zero.

You've seen the court documents right? Microsoft is going to try.
