    I used to support this game because I was tired of all the arcade shooters. Even with all the mass shooting levels I thought it’d be neat. But then they dropped their early access for multiplayer a few years ago and it made me lose all faith in the game lol. Not to mention they spent a lot on licensing the official names for weapons and gear which is just sad lol

      I'm definitely not the intended audience for 99% of sports games for a similar reason: I have no interest in up to date sports statistics or player rosters or team franchises. I'd enjoy sports games more if they did more weird stuff, like Basewars or Mutant League Football.

        imagine playing a soccer game where players aren't called Bobson Dugnut or Hans Schmeichel

          I like the old weird ones where you could name your own players and teams.

            I remember being blown away by a college football game I played, I think on the original XBox, when I gave my team a unique name and they actually had a voice line for that particular name. Imagine the wild stuff you could do with procedural generation, deepfake voice lines, an AI art program making player faces, etc if you wanted to have an in-depth sports sim that really focused on creating a team instead of just playing as an already existing one.

        Gun likeness licensing must be all kinds of weird anyways. Even Ready or Not has a G36C, named as such, but then also a bunch of other weapons that are clearly identifiable but given a bullshit name.

        I mean CoD had the QBZ-95 / Type 95 named as such, did Norinco go like hell yeah go for it my dudes on that one?

        Most of the audience isn’t even going to notice as long the general details of the guns are laid out. Like everyone knows what an AK looks like. No need to copy the exact bolts and stamps to match an existing trademarked model lol. Or do, but say fuck it if the sue you
