Okay here we go:

  1. ‘Live service games’. Complete and utter bullshit. This service model just kills games before they launch, and historically speaking they just suck ass
  2. Locking all the ‘cool’/ desirable cosmetics behind paywalls, and not having the ability to unlock anything/ anything remotely cool
  3. Forced, online play. What if you want to play solo offline or the internet goes down?
  4. Loot boxes, same as #2 basically
  5. Announcing games 2+ years out, and just having a title card. I get that it’s probably for investors and such, but seriously, Elder scrolls 6 will be out in like, 2030 and it cannot POSSIBLY live up to the hype. If it’s even 20% like Starfield it’ll be shit
