    The only counter argument people are going to use is that “you are getting older” which is why you don’t like them. Which is just not the case. Games are getting more boring, have more micro transactions, bad writing, and are releasing more broken as well as having like 80% of the original content cut from the game just to be sold as dlc.

      "The only counter argument people are going to use is that “you are getting older” which is why you don’t like them. Which is just not the case."
      It absolutely is lol, for one when you were younger you likely didn't have many games or consoles, you made do with what you had and because of your limited experience with games as a whole you could have more fun with a game that today you might consider terrible because you had very limited reference points of what a good game is like. You also likely didn't pay a massive attention to the internet outside of UA-cam lets players and other entertainment based creators, and so a lot of gaming controversy's at the time likely would have flown under your radar because you weren't looking for that kind of content.
      "Games are getting more boring, have more micro transactions, bad writing, and are releasing more broken as well as having like 80% of the original content cut from the game just to be sold as dlc."
      Where do I even start with this lol, you need to chill out a bit. Games aren't more boring I have no idea what games you are playing but if whatever you are playing is boring you then I suggest you play something else. If you find that no matter what you play bores you then maybe you are just burnt out, take a break from the hobby and try something else, maybe something you haven't done in a while or you have been meaning to do but haven't had to the time to. Hell maybe even play a game from your childhood, something you've not played for a good 5-10 years see how well it holds up, reexperience some of your fondest memories.
      The microtransactions point is pretty fair, I blame this more so on companies being able to implement such monetization schemes far more easily now that basically every game and console has an internet connection, If the internet was as widely used in the 80's as it is now I have no doubt gaming companies would have inserted microtransactions into their games in some way, shape or form much sooner than they ended up doing.
      I have no clue where you got the idea that games have been getting worse in terms of writing, especially since Baldur's Gate 3 released this year and its one of the best written games ever made, and before you say "well x game and y game are poorly written" bad writing has existed since we first learned how to put pen to paper, in every medium not just games, are all movies now terrible because some films released in the last few years were poorly written?
      Games releasing more broken is a very valid complaint and definitely an ever increasing issue with newer games, I blame the reliance on upscalers like FSR and DLSS for poor optimization but also on the strict deadlines the devs have forced upon them that force them to rush and rely on such technologies.
      Obviously that 80% figure is completely hyperbolic so I'll ignore it and say that I can't think of any game that has been found to have purposely cut content from the main game to sell later, I've heard of some games using cut content for DLC but that's a bit different, if anything I think most game devs are struggling enough as it is to actually release their games on time and in a mostly functioning state that DLC is probably the last thing their thinking of when making a game. I'm sure some games have done it I just don't think its a particularly worthy concern to have considering the fact I can't think of many games that have done this in recent years.

    The greatest tragedy of all is the hard truth that these companies only get away with these shady business practices because there are too many sheep out there that eat it up like candy. As long as it works for them, they’re going to continue to do it. The fastest way to make it stop is to stop supporting them. Stop buying their battles passes, stop buying their outfits that have absolutely no impact on your ability to play the game.

    But that is exactly why we were so on fire with hype for Dying Light 2. We expected the greatness and genius of Dying light to be taken to the next level. And it should have. Like i said: Dying Light 2 is just a shadow of its potential.

    before 2013, the industry standard was private studios would leverage publically traded publishers (like ea and activision) for marketing only. this seperation of powers allowed studios to retain quality/creative control without being beholden to fudiciary duty laws that mandated a lawful obligation to shareholder interests in maximum profit return. it wasnt until alot of these studios started being bought out by these publishers that you saw the predatory monetization begin. why? because now the product itself must be tailored to the best interest of the shareholder, instead just how its marketed and distributed.

I was in the dying light 2 discord, sons of the forest discord, telling people that it isn’t a good sign for the game if the devs keep delaying it over and over. That tells me they aren’t confident in how they want to release their game, and it’s a terrible fkin sign, because if they were cautious about releasing it on a previous date, then how about this one.
    And don’t even get me started on the unfinished buggy products on release, when I’m buying a product, I don’t want half the product, or 75% of it, I want the FULL product that I paid in FULL.
    The crazier part of it all is how people will defend these companies under and circumstances when they are the ones stealing our money. If the games cost more money to produce, shouldn’t that mean that the game should be even better on release cause of how much money went into it??

Like my normal driving speed was fast af, i think there are videos about that bug on youtube. Despite the bug i finished the game many time and enjoy every moment, then SR reboot happen, i swear i've never been more pissed when i see the actual game. RIP the boss, johnny, shaundi and pierce

    Dude, you nailed it. Fucking great job at explaining everything that's wrong, including that gaming nowadays feels the same for every title out there. To me it's not only the live service crap, but also every game is either a hero shooter or an action game. There is zero creativity. Even titles that were a different genre have changed their identity (i'm looking at you Valkyrie Profile).
    I hope that this video helps people to stand their ground against these predatory business. Unfortunately it''s also as you said: despite all of that, there are still people giving money and paying for microtransactions and battlepasses to keep encouraging this behavior.
    Hopefully it won't take long until all of this crappy business practice is in the past.

People are just too try hard now and game companies are turning games into casinos so you get addicted instead of having fun. Microtransactions, gamble packs or loot boxes, rewards for playing or winning, and unlcok systems (check out MW3 armory unlock system) all while manipulating game results and outcomes so you never win or lose too much. Check out FIFA, COD, Fortnite, basically everything. Casual modes dont exist anymore. Everyone is an addicted sweat.

    The funny thing is, they own the games, it's not like they can't improve and update the game over-time, it's just that it'd cost them money to do it, and out of the billions of dollars in microtransactions apparently we're not worthy of having a finished product, the only way to stop this, is to somehow inform everyone, make them non-apathic and actually support boycotting these new awful releases, because the problem is clear, it's not the indie devs or the fan-made creators, it's the AAA corporations that people mindlessly buy new release, play it and don't even try to get a refund on these STINKERS and they have the audacity to increase prices from $60 to $70, absurd.

      Facts. In my friend group I'm looking at all these gaming trends in the new Mortal Kombat. Everyone I know tells me I'm just to analytical and have too high of standards. Since when has it been too high of a standard to expect to simply buy your product, then use it without being harassed to spend more on it? Then I get looked at like a madman for the comparison. Imagine spending 20$ at a movie theater for act 1 and 2 of a film. Just to be told act 3 will be available in two months for another 10$. It's the same business philospahy applied to another entertaintment product.

But no these companies just apply live service to multiplayer crap games,, where they forget to create a good game and just focus on profits and nickel and diming. If more companies did what No Man Sky and Dying Light 1 did I would be so happy, they supported their games for over 8+ years and in the case of NMS they are still updating that game significantly.

    Very well made video and couldn't have been said better. If you wanna support a live service game that I feel actually deserves the money, find a good MMO like FFXIV. Those actually need the money to run the way they do, just find one that doesn't try to gouge you so avoid MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online.
    Also, thank you, Oni, for recommending that Indie studio of former Techland employees. That Boti: Byteland Overclocked game they just released is a really solid 3D Platformer. I tried the Prologue Demo and I can't wait for it to release for Console, seems like the perfect game to play on a Switch.

When I was 15, it was the greatest thing ever. Like all things, as we get older things are just not as exciting. I loved the beach as a kid, now it’s whatever. Same thing with movies.

I also wanted to purchase Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, especially since it will be the last game with the man himself, late Kevin Conroy voicing the Batman (the Arkham Batman). But battle pass (a second job) that OniZombies did show in this video is a something I don't wanna see in any game, especially in an Arkham-related game. I hope they cut it out before the launch.

Or what about the preorder bonus where you get a map that shows where some valuables are to help, making it so players who don't preorder or buy these DLCs have to work harder. As great as that game is, it's still a victim of modern day monetisation schemes.
