alt Hacker NewsModern gaming is a micro transaction DLC hellscape. Are you serious?
Are they fun? Yes, they are designed to be addictive. So you spend money on pixels.

Maybe give it another try? I have been playing lots of games for the past few years, some vigorously. Not a single one of them has a single microtransaction, because that's an immediate turnoff for me.

I've been gaming for twice as long as you. You're picking the wrong games.

None of the games I mentioned have micro transactions.
Outer Wilds, 1000xResist and What Remains of Edith Finch all moved me to tears. I still can't casually listen to the soundtracks of Outer Wilds or 1000x, as they simply evoke too many emotions.
Stop conflating Call of Duty and the like with "modern gaming".
You're jaded, and I feel sad for you.
