I got MMO trash out of my system 20 years ago. You can’t pay me to play a live service game now.
You got 20 years of dailies backlogged! All the FOMO on the seasons!
I try to stay a patient gamer. If you do you’re usually rewarded with a discounted, patched up game with content it probably should have launched with. The exception I’ve been using for myself recently for AAA games is, is a the game a single player experience with no micro-transactions? If yes, I’ll buy it day one or close to it. I do want to show them that I’m willing to pay full price for these games if they aren’t predatory pieces of shit.
Play time =/= QUALITY game time GaaS are designed to keep player busy while single player games are meant to be finished.

Same. I find myself increasingly alienated by so called AAA games and turned to more indie games. I don’t need high graphics nor 60fps, just give me good game play.
Vampire Survivor and Balatro are only two of the more successful examples. I bought dozens of other indie titles that have little to no media coverage.
I do play one GaaS (from Mihoyo) casually though and it sort of fill my need when I want something to chase.

Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky. And Disney+ but I’m assuming they mean game play time.
