I fell for stuff like this for a while and now I consequently delete every game that tries to pull this shit with me. And I lost the joy in multiplayer games to be honest. I will never match the dedication of some people. And if this means I have no chance to actually enjoy it, I don't want to bother.

    It got to be a really well made game for multiplayer with a good community (and if necessary good moderation) and proper matchmaking to work. There aren't a lot of those out there, especially not major titles. Those either use the for-profit matchmaking algorithm (putting you in games where you specifically encounter players with purchaseable items your ad profile says you may be convinced to buy, even if it's less balanced - Fortnite uses this for example), have absolutely zero working moderation (literally every Counter-Strike) or are completely overrun with bots, cheaters and scammers (e.g. PUBG).

    Beyond All Reason comes to mind, that's genuinely a joy playing. Probably due to its FOSS nature and small but fine community. And the ELO for balancing is visible by everyone.

    Nothing beats a LAN Party with friends though. That's what Multiplayer was made for. 🥰

    Beyond all reason is a great multiplayer environment once you get the hang of how to play.

    I've played a couple matches but it hadn't clicked for me yet in the same way that TA or SupCom have.

    Not the fault of the game, I still just spend most of my time looking at the build icons wondering what everything does.

    Anyway, nice to hear there's some good game in there once you get past the learning curve (same as any RTS, really).

    Ive been playing fortnite for a while now, the only thing you really buy are all cosmetic, and I see plenty of people using the ftp skins. There's a shop that refreshes daily for new cosmetics, but it's universal, not targeted, and if you're seeing people with stuff in the shop, it's probably because they just bought it themselves. so unless I'm missing something the fortnite comment isn't true.

    And yes I know, defending epic is not a very popular position lol, there's definitely enough to criticize already
