      • overpriced games
      • fully-priced games with microtransactions and day 1 DLCs.
      • overpriced hardware
      • games released broken, fixed later
      • Invasive DRM
      • Always-online requirements
      • annoying ads/microtransactions
      • invasive telemetry
      • third party launchers
      • third party accounts
      • Publishers intentionally misleading reviewers
      • False/misleading marketing from GPU OEMs

      What else am I missing?

        • Games locked behind exclusivity deals begging/forcing to install multiple launchers to play different games
        • Major game-dev doesnt innovate and have forgot how to be imaginative.
        • Games as services is priority cause it brings money to corpos

        Thankfully, indie-dev is epic right this moment! Lot’s of lesser known but very fun games coming out.
