    Fuck I hate gamers, game publishers and modrn games. They seriously updated call of duty modern warfare (2019) to be an ad for their new installment. It's literally everywhere. Ranks got reset, rewards you get are for the other game now instead of this one, they even renamed the game. I bought that shit for 60 bucks and after a year they just update it and decide that's enough for me. How the fuck is that legal? Why don't we really own games anymore? And if I complain online there are a thousand redditors who defend this anri consumerist shit with takes like "just buy the next game" and "well, they always did that", "you can't expext to play it forever"

    fuuuuuuuuuuck gaming as a service packaged and advertised as a full standalone game

      Ok, but why would you spend 60 bucks, in the year 2019, on a call of duty game, the poster child of chud gaming and corporate AAA gaming greed. All the proud boys dress like they want to be cod characters and you're like 'gimme that shit'?

      Spend that money on indie games. Or play something less lame than call of duty if you need a competetive shooter: CS:GO, rainbow 6 siege or hunt showdown.
