Why do old people have to ruin the fun? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ObsidianFlux@fedinsfw.app 2 points 15 hours ago (1 child) The “old people ruin the fun” line only works if the critique is wrong. Games you don’t own, 100GB downloads, forced online, and unfinished launches at full price isn’t “fun.” It’s just the current business model. Pointing that out doesn’t make someone old. It makes the people defending it sound like they’re allergic to basic ownership. Keep the SpongeBob meme though. It’s doing more work than the argument. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 point 15 hours ago That's only if you only play 'AAA' corporate lowest common denominator slop. permalink fedilink source parent
