    Yes?

    Do you not remember when a title would get released and stay in a buggy state forever rendering the game useless?

    Have you never enjoyed a game so much that you wanted more content for it

    I don’t want a product that’s going to go stale the second I buy it, I want a game I can play for 10 years with new content being added to keep it fresh.

      Let me guess, you think movies should just be perma running live streams?

      Calling a game “stale” for not having an unending stream of spectacle creep is a wild opinion. Its a game, not a lifestyle. Not ending is why so many games are shit now. Because they dont stop when theyre good, they stop when its become too bad to play, and everyone leaves.

      Enjoying a game so much you want more content was, and still is, filled just fine from dlc and sequels. The best part? They dont require permanently altering what you thought was good, so if theyre trash you still have the original.
