Meanwhile Terraria keeps getting better with every update without any additional payments or price increases
Stardew valley too.
Then there's factorio.
Then there's any super giant game.
Then there's, frankly, just indie games in general.
Fuck triple aaa
+1 Stardew Valley.
The Farm Must Grow.
No Man's Sky. Game was a disaster when it came out. For most games, a bad launch would have ended the game. But with NMS, the devs kept at it and constantly added new content over many years. I believe it's still actively developed.
That's what got me to play it. I only played it maybe half a year ago. I wouldn't have bothered if not for the fact that people were mentioning how much the game had improved. I wrote the game off after the bad press when it launched, but fortunately I was wrong and they did make something good out of it.
People still on reddit.
Or Xitter
People who still watch the news
Overwatch
I mean that one kinda depends on the role you're playing. It rotates through a cycle of bullshit for each role in turn
It was a steady decline throughout OW1 and then it became steaming pile of garbage when "OW2" happened
They just takes so long to make changes. It took them 4 season to make supports good, and now they are op and tank are unplayble. It's ridiculous.
Stellaris. They got rid of tiles to improve the AI and performance, but both got worse
Ahh to play it again for the first time.
When the events were all new, I was so busy reading I didn't mind the lag, and AI behavior wasn't super obvious.
Stellaris 2.1 was a magical time. The update right before tile changes
Paragon was a bit of dead on arrival for me and kind of when I lost the last of my steam.
We already complained that the AI wasn't competent enough to make a good story, and they plugged on an incredibly complicated system to allow humans players with 2 brain cells to dominate them even easier.
And on top of all that the game can't get through an hour without desync so I either play with lobotomized AI or never finish a game with friends.
I lost my steam around mega corp. I played a few times since then but then the game would update, half my mods would never update and I'd lose the save.
Maybe I'll come back when development stops and mods can really run away
And they keep adding more things to micromanage
Yup and each one of those causes more lag.
They need to switch to event driven pop updates or the game will never be playable
mfs need to learn some self-respect
Sunk cost fallacy is a mean bitch
My girlfriend is a mean bitch but I’ve invested too much time to leave her now.
Where my Dead by Daylight homies at?
I hate this game.
Queues up for next match
play killer match
Fuck survivors
play survivor match
Fuck killers
Yeah Tarkov just keeps getting more broken every update. Why do I do this to myself? Light Keeper already told me I can't escape Tarkov. I should have listened to him.
Must be a Team Fortress 2 player...
Updates?
Still waiting on that update-sized update
Does a game need constant updates if it's stable and works and is balanced?
Nope. I still love some new community maps now and then
They used to happen.
"Meet your match" was the absolute worst update to a game I've ever seen. The outcry was so bad Valve even bothered to reply to comments on reddit and other forums for once.
Instead of rolling it back and actually talking to and listening to the community like they should have done and trying again later, they doubled down and tried to fix the multiple bugs they introduced and didn't revert any of the unpopular gameplay changes.
TF2 is still just about good enough that it's an enjoyable game, but it's dying a slow death due to all the bots, cheaters, and the absurdity that is "random crits"
👎 Unfinished garbage. No replay value.

We've all been there. There is always that hope that "well, the next update will probably fix _____".
CS was quite shitty for quite a while before I quit. Now it looks like it's recovering, the CS2 launch went well (apart from server issues) so there's definitely a reason to have hope. At least with valve.
Titanfall 2 also recovered, but that was always a good game. I'll even say it's the best shooter ever made period.
Lots more than just server issues with CS2 unfortunately haha. (No workshop support, no community server tools, VaCLives been a meme, busted map collision, etc.) But im sure valve will get it fixed up sooner than later... i hope...
Oh yeah, I forgot they replaced CSGO. That was a scummy move indeed given the game lacks those major features.
Melee players thriving
I'd say Diablo 4 but I stopped playing it by the first update. 80 bucks down the drain yayyyyy
Activision across the board to be fair.
20 years of runescape later
I love the people who still play RS3 more than they love themselves, which is not at all. OSRS has zero MTX outside of bonds and it's all bankrolled by Jagex's income from the paypigs who keep "RuneScape" on life support.
Oh, anon plays world of warcraft, too?
Just stop updating it
