Unfortunately co op was killed by the constant pressure to have the next big graphical wank fest game.
Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation
gigachad@piefed.social 3 days agoBecause companies fucked up consoles. All we ever wanted was split screen games with our friends on the couch. Not a single-player-only Need for Speed for 70€ I can only play with an online subscription with random people over the internet.
They made consoles more and more similar to computers over the years, instead of focusing on the social character consoles used to have.

I've been saying something similar for years: Consoles going online was the worst thing to ever happen to them. Their selling point used to be that you'd put in a cartridge/disc, and it would "just work". Now it has all the downsides of PC gaming, with none of the upsides.
