Comment on ARC Raiders Is the Most ‘It’s Fine’ Game We’ve Played in a While - IGN
pulido@lemmings.world 4 days agoWe probably have different tastes and standards for our entertainment.
Just about every game released in at least the past 10 years that interests me has some form of microtransactions or DLC.

I think you’re having trouble finding the good stuff in the first place then. We’re flooded with more great games than ever.

Oh, if you’re going to ignore the problem that is DLC then we’re just going to have to agree to disagree.
I wait until games are finished before pirating them. There are plenty of good games these days now, but almost all of them have microtransactions and/or DLC.
I’m not particularly interested in most indie titles, which is where a lot of the disconnect comes between me and the average PC gamer.

Is DLC a problem if a game had been “finished” for years and then they go back and make one for an old game? It’s been known to happen. I don’t see it as a problem, because it’s arbitrary. It many ways, a DLC can be reactionary for what a game needs after they’ve had time to observe the completed thing. It also depends on your definition of indie, since there’s as wide of a range in production value among games called “indie” as there is among “AAA”. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II probably cost one tenth what the next Grand Theft Auto cost to make, and a game like Indika or Clair Obscur could fool plenty of people into thinking they were made by enormous teams.
But like I said, even if I filtered for games without any sort of DLC, there’s still tons to play.

What games do you recommend that don’t have DLC or microtransactions?
