why would I be looking forward to the next microtransactionfest RS is puking up

This bums me out so much. I have lots of good memories playing GTAV with my cousins as a kid, and with my friends online when I got older. Now I can't bring myself to open it out of principle, because they're locking things you used to be able to earn behind battlepasses and fucking paywalls. And there's no doubt GTAVI is going to be even worse...

I feel bad for all the kids who will grow up with these kinds of games. I'm glad I was born just in time to experience games before the enshittification of the whole market.
