you didnt seem like the java type anyways, it prob keeps you up at night so no worries.

Disappointing level of maturity from you there darthv72, if I'm honest. I'm just not a fan of companies doing this. It's unnecessary and simply a ploy to strong-arm you into their eco system, complete with all the third-party malarkey in the T & Cs...

I felt the same when Oculus recently made it mandatory to link your Facebook account (or create one) before you can play on your Quest. I don't have an account and even if I did, I wouldn't want to link my gaming to it.

Not a fan of the idea but if its shit pirating is always an option.

except this only applies to people who already own the game ... so they aren't losing money.

The fact that it's "always an option" reinforces my statement.

I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

CrimsonWing6955d ago

Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
