    It’s honesty pretty bleak to see companies like Electronic Arts and Activision consistently top the sales charts by releasing the same game every year.

    Said this before on Reddit in the past, but there are lots of consumers who have no taste in video games whatsoever. They don’t give a shit about anything but FIFA/Madden, Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, and that is the reason why we have predatory shit like Ultimate Team and Shark Cards in $70 AAA titles.

      it honestly just looks like addiction to me, it’s like people who drink the same miserable burnt coffee every morning just to vaguely function, and see no issue whatsoever with this habit and in fact continue to praise coffee for being so great and tasty.
