If you want to play the same game over and over, there are plenty of those.

Live games are for ever-changing environments.

Fallout 76 didn’t ruin New Vegas

Ultima online wasn’t a “cancer” to the gaming industry

I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn’t get the abomination that is the latest two installments.

Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron’s Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can’t speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.

Different games are made for different people. If you don’t find a genre or model fun, their existence doesn’t ruin anything for you.

Live service games have been around for decades.

Lol Artefact. I did forget about that

I take the bus to work every day. It’s a set route for my set work schedule and it’s great.

But everything else I do in my life? Not on a bus route, schedules are slow on the weekend or stop completely after a certain time.

When you come up with a bus that goes wherever I want to go when I want, I’m in. Until then, a car that doesn’t require a driver and is easily shared between many people to take them the last mile is an actual solution.
