I’m about to mute GTA 6 for my own peace, but I just want to rant and give my opinion on the state of things
I don’t like the way the industry is going, I’d rather have physical than digital, I’ve gone to midnight releases dating back to Gears of War 2, I think the last I went to was Dark Souls 2/Titanfall. I miss those days before social media, posting up outside of gamestation and chatting to random people I’d never see or talk to again because I didn’t have a phone with internet, just living in the moment buying games I knew little to nothing about, reading my Bradygames strategy guide on the ride home instead of having everything leaked to me before the game even comes out.
However, the industry is different now, unless I want to live a boring life where I’m limiting what I can enjoy to stand up against things that are out of my control, I just have to get on with it, it doesn’t mean I agree with it or support the way things are. I don’t want to have to miss out on things that I enjoy because I should “talk with my wallet” and refuse to buy because it’s digital only or they’ve asked for £10 extra, I don’t want to have to live that life.
I want physical to stay, I want midnight releases, I want sponsored Mountain Dew cans for my favourite games, I want that early 2000s vibe back more than anything.
However, there is nothing that I can do but try to keep on keeping on enjoying what I love the most, if that means I’m a sheep then so be it, because the other option is to just complain day in, day out and argue with random people on the internet about it which changes nothing, it just makes my life miserable. If being happy costs an extra £10 and a digital code, if that’s the situation imposed on me and I can’t change it, whatever.
Life is too short
