Do I really need to grind 2-5 hours in 2-4 games each week to "enjoy" them? No. But to get some content I want, I have to. Why? What happened to having stuff be given out for free and letting people have FUN with the product they paid for?
I mean, I get it: HAHA CAPITALISM GOES KA-CHING but come on developers?
Yeah, the worst part is the big chunk of gamers who demand this sort of thing because the idea of just playing a game for fun has become anathema to them
Like, I love playing Destiny, it scratches an itch that no other game does for me, but my god so much of the player base is dedicated to two things
Grinding down the content as efficiently as possible
complaining about the lack of content once they've grinded through it
With the season passes this has gotten even worse.
I tried to find some people to run the new raid with a few days ago and everyone was demanding that I know what I was doing or that I use a very specific loadout or that I had beaten the raid multiple times
Like, do you even have fun anymore?
Yeah, seriously, what the fuck is with those kind of people? I've had a friend refuse to get into a game he'd otherwise enjoy because "there's no progression system, so there's no point". Dude, it's a fucking video game, obviously there's no point. It's for fun, just play the game and enjoy the game if you find it fun, don't make yourself do a thing you hate just to watch the level up animation play.
It's the workification of games and it stinks
