I legitimately got angry when my friend bought me a CoD a few years back (no clue what one, I feel like there's been 10 in the last 3 years). I hated it so much. The abilities, the kill streaks, etc. all made it feel miserable.

Been playing CoD since CoD1, and MW2 was the last one I bought. I'm done with the franchise only because of the bullshit they've been pulling on their customers. Was getting constant 3:1 and 4:1 K/D in most matches I played, and I'm done. I wish the publishers pulled their heads out their arses, though I have no faith that they will at this point.
What game are you switching to?
I've been playing CS2 with a few buddies I grew up with. Most of them haven't really been into FPS games much, however for some reason they were willing to give CS2 a shot (which I'm rather happy with).
We're thinking of switching up games around Christmas, as we have a tradition of someone gifting others something we could all play that started a few years ago. In recent times I've been focusing more on gaming to be social, rather than an escape (it took me years to get used to reminding myself to blink, when playing FPS games, and I got that sting when I did blink - I know a lot of gamers know what I'm talking about). Since my departure from sinking so many hours into CoD, I've placed even more focus on just having fun with friends I know and can talk to and my mental health has been better as a result.
The XBox Game Pass (PC) helps a lot. There's a few titles I've gotten into on there since broadening the genres I focus on, most recently Shadow of the Tomb Raider though I also play Forza Horizon 5 (also played through FH:4). 10 years ago I would have never imagined myself to enjoy car games, though it's been great. Oh, I also play Diablo 4 (with the last one I played being Diablo 2 for less than an hour when I was in school), really cool art and the story is dark yet gripping.
I have also been playing through forza and similarly surprised by how enjoyable it's been.
I'd like to play an easy basic shooter like cod but I'm a solo player so the "strategic" shooters aren't for me. Similarly, I just don't enjoy the battle Royale style games.

Would it affect anything if a total size + recent updates' sizes were shown on the store page in bold? Shitty internet is still a thing, and getting a bigger drive isn't as problematic as just not wanting this behemoth to hoard free space you could use elsewhere.
