Players are trying fewer new games because of live services…

    I got MMO trash out of my system 20 years ago. You can’t pay me to play a live service game now.

    I try to stay a patient gamer. If you do you’re usually rewarded with a discounted, patched up game with content it probably should have launched with. The exception I’ve been using for myself recently for AAA games is, is a the game a single player experience with no micro-transactions? If yes, I’ll buy it day one or close to it. I do want to show them that I’m willing to pay full price for these games if they aren’t predatory pieces of shit.

    Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky. And Disney+ but I’m assuming they mean game play time.

    Play time =/= QUALITY game time GaaS are designed to keep player busy while single player games are meant to be finished.

          Same. I find myself increasingly alienated by so called AAA games and turned to more indie games. I don’t need high graphics nor 60fps, just give me good game play.

          Vampire Survivor and Balatro are only two of the more successful examples. I bought dozens of other indie titles that have little to no media coverage.

          I do play one GaaS (from Mihoyo) casually though and it sort of fill my need when I want something to chase.
