I've been playing Gears 5's multiplayer since it came out, and I've honestly had more fun with it since they stopped updating the game. No more stress from trying to complete the current Season before the content in it gets vaulted, playing modes I don't want and trying to do specific feats in matches. I just jump in for a few games and shoot people for the pure joy of shooting people, just like multiplayer games used to be
FOMO is real though, looking back on the game I haven't used 98 percent of the skins, characters, banners, etc I unlocked even once but I still felt compelled to complete every season. Still, at least I wasn't big enough of a chump to spend real money in the store
China unintentionally making games good.
I was playing genshin like a job when it came out. If I didn’t do my dailies, I’d fall behind with the content and pay IRL money to catch up.
Eventually I just quit because it wasn’t fun to play.
