  Every 6mo or so tencent aquires a different game I like and gives it cancer. This timeline sucks ass.

  Rats with wings. I got bit by a goose as a kid so while I don’t go looking for a fight, I have been waiting 13 years for one to finally try again so I can grab it by that stupid fucking neck and give it this exact treatment.

  I think looking at it through an “all else equal” mindset is a little misleading.

  Back then it was basically space-age technology. Video games were leaps and bounds ahead of other forms of entertainment, techwise. You could somewhat justify the expense because there was literally nothing like it in existence.

  Nowadays? People make video games for classes in high school. I can write a flappy bird game on my phone and play it there. Small projects with less than 50 people regularly end up as bestsellers on Steam. Thousands of titles release on steam every year.

  Video game supply is through the fucking roof, yet companies go out of their way to overproduce and underdeliver. QA is nonexistent anymore because of day 1 patches and always-online. They realized a long time ago that when your primary market is children, you can be as absolutely shitty as you want because a parent will give their child anything to shut them up or help them fit in. You can exploit a child’s labor for profit and their parent will pay you just to keep them occupied (Roblox, cough cough).

  I mean we all knew video games couldn’t cost $60 for all eternity, but watching the price hike an entire third at once (50% if it costs $90) I think has made people realize just how overvalued video games are in general.

  Really depends on your favorite flavor of spiritual koolaid here.

  Some say you’ll burn forever if you’ve merely heard the word of God and not accepted it, others say you’ll burn regardless of if you had the opportunity to receive the word or not.

  Some even say nobody ends up in hell forever and everyone gets saved eventually.

  Really just take your pick.

  I returned Red Dead Redemption 2 on steam after seeing I needed an entire Shitstar account.

  5 years ago I would have just forgotten about it and moved on but in today’s climate, fuck em. They don’t even deserve my $1.40.
