I don't have the personal budget to buy a lot of games. Pay me more and I'll spend more. Otherwise, fuck all the way off

How the fuck am I suppose to make new friends when I can't consistently connect with people unless they are already my friend? This wasn't a problem back when games were mostly on dedicated servers where the same groups would hang out consistently, day after day, so you'd actually get to know people.
It is impossible to satirize this guy
Damn it, who anthropomorphized satire and let it run a company!?
Yeah, nothing will help attract players like diluting any weak identity it already had with an open deluge of metaverse slop. Everything will be everything. It's not enough to have a product anymore, it has to be a whole ecosystem. God forbid a single bloody dollar slip through your grasp.
Guess we will see if GTA6 online fails due to not being in the unreal ecosystem
Rockstar lost me when they added invasive anticheat to GTAV. It was a great game prior to that, but take away something I've been enoying for almost 10 years on a whim and don't allow me to play it anymore because I'm on Linux? Goodbye and good riddance. Not touching anything they put out ever again.
I’m sure they will survive
it's already failed for me.
I ain't touching that pile of shit with 10 copies of gta5 taped together and covered in feces...
ALL aaaa slop is dead to me... they will never see a dime from me ever again... no ea, no ubi, no rockstar... if they call themselves AAAA then it's trash.
Pretty excited about gta6 myself but I'm not touching the online mode with a 10 foot pole. It probably won't even run on linux anyway
- Isn't "overproduced" not an antonym of slop?
- That you won't buy it won't make its (probable?) success less of a counterargument to this ceo's ramblings.
