This feels like a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

The problem is that every game has a losing team, and the players are supposed to feel bad no matter how well they performed. "Defeat" or "Loss" messages, sad music, sinking stats, public match record showing off your failure; there's punishment baked into this model of game.

Trying to keep players by throwing them easy wins is an insult. You're the game developer that created this "winner/loser" model to begin with. Now you're trying to make me feel better with this bullshit? You're the one that caused the pain to begin with.

The original (lol) Final Fantasy 7 was the beginning of the end. The games leading up to it were perfect.

Every other sentence has a gigantic advertisement for fucking cosmetics or wristwatches and there's a floating video advertisement in the corner. Jesus Christ please stop sharing this slop.
