Nah fam, you and your friends are just getting old. It’s the kids these days who are suckers for buying cash-cow and money milking games. Because they are kids and don’t give a shit about money with respect to quality.
I think it’s a little about how they don’t know better either, and there’s no better options. You and I remember when multiplayer games used to be great, but if nowadays they’re all shit, what option do they have?
