This is exactly why I NEVER play online only games, someday I will want to play it and the servers will be off. I refuse to enjoy a game and have it taken away from me.
I vote with my wallet, but Sadly most people don’t feel the same and so many people give in and play those games anyway.
I really hope the stop killing games goes somewhere world wide, I did sign several of their petitions.
Consumers are not the problem. Advertising and marketing are VERY effective at convincing people to do things that go against their own interests. You can try your best to be sceptical of everything, but someone's gonna convince you to spend money where you don't really want to.
I like your energy but direct it entirely at the companies, not the consumers. It's the same kind of energy as big corporate convincing people that personal responsibility will solve climate crisis. It's great to vote with your wallet but really we need regulation and policy that protects consumers against this shit.
I think Anthem probably created a lot of peoples “NEVER” lists. I don’t think I’ve preordered, played a live service game or a BioWare game at least since anthem.
