I was being a bit flippant with the arcade microtransactions thing. My point is really that multiplayer does not a priori mean capitalist degradation any more than any other thing existing in capitalism does. Pretty much every gacha game is single player to my knowledge.
I’ll be frank and say modern gaming has not captured my interest in at least a decade and continues to fail to do so. I don’t know anything about battlefront or apex legends. I won’t go as far as to say this is prescriptive of anything but I think it’s at least worth earnestly analyzing why this seems to be such a phenomenon now- call me lazy, I guess. It must go deeper than nostalgia. Plenty of games were bad when I was younger, still.
