Imagine telling your then-self how bad things would get.
You won’t own the game, and you can’t buy the whole game, you can’t play the game offline—or you can, but not for too long—the pedigree will be demolished and reviewers will still laud it
The games will use 1000x the resources to run, have no optimisation, with poorer gameplay, worse art styles, and basic features will be overlooked.
The games will have abusive gambling mechanics to keep you hooked, instead of being good, and you will need to buy cosmetics with actual money as they’re not unlockable.
