Imagine what the games industry might look like today if Destiny had never existed.
Curious...why a Left 4 Dead 1 remaster rather than a remaster of 2 with the content from 1 included?

Unfortunately even people on PlayStation campaigned for crossplay. When Sony was blocking it in certain games during the PS4 era, the games media/influencers turned their followers into mobs to harass Sony to change and force crossplay, and everyone willingly went along.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that it's annoying. I just think gamers are being delusional if we act like this was something that was forced on us. We asked for...
Yet people begged devs for this for years.
What's so complicated about playing Kingdom Hearts √2.63÷7: Hunter Hearst Helmsley on a device running iOS 7.6? Seems pretty simple to me.
Part of the problem with the whole "Game X isn't what was promised" narrative in the past ten years or so is that the current generation of gamers seems to have no internal filter when they see a trailer about what is just cinematic marketing and what is representative of gameplay. Until probably about the PS4 era, gamers could see a trailer/marketing materials for a game and instinctively understand based on prior experiences what parts of what they were seeing were just cinema...
Tell me you love Fortnite without telling me you love Fortnite.
Nah, I dislike having tons of janky clutter on my computer. I'd certainly be willing to pay for a game I really wanted rather than get it for free if getting it for free means embracing janky clutter. It's like getting something "free with ads." The ads are their own type of price.
If Warhawk had included even semi-competent bots, I'd have kept playing it for ten years. It was the closest thing we got that generation to a battlefront game, and a much better battlefront style game than the 2015/2017 releases.

Totally true. With the success of the PS4 and PS5, it's difficult to convince younger players just how staunchly anti-PS3 most of the gaming media was, at least through about 2011. Except for Uncharted 2, very few PS3 games during that era got their due, particularly multiplayer games like MAG and Warhawk.
I'd rather pay for a game on Steam than have it free on Epic Games Store.
Or at least it will take forever to get there. It's not like any early UE4 games matched that lava cave trailer.
A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."
I wonder how many people who didn't buy Dishonored 2 or Deathloop are going to complain about Arkane making a Marvel game instead of working on an original IP.
"Remember when online gaming was actually just fun and you could hop into a match of Warhawk or Halo or CoD or Last of Us Factions or Uncharted online and not need to deal with all this?"
Yes. But now if a game doesn't have all that nonsense, people move on almost immediately. If devs launch a multiplayer game and then don't immediately start adding random crap via updates, people say they abandoned the game and "sent it out to die." Or even if a...
For a brief period of time, it was a useful shorthand for something that had hamfisted, pandering writing where the story was secondary to the writer's misguided goal of winning points. Like when a show introduced an over the top gay character who doesn't resemble any gay person you meet in reality or a black character who talks entirely in platitudes that sound like they were written by white American college students.
However, as you say, the people who actually e...
@BehindTheRows
Oh I am. I'm not talking about when every Xbox game was coming to PC. I'm talking about when BioShock came out in 2007 on PC and 360 (and we didn't yet know a PS3 version was coming a year later). I'm talking about Left 4 Dead 1-2 in 2008-2009 when PS3 never got those games. I'm talking about Fable 3 in 2010-2011.
Again, I guess I keep misunderstanding how young everyone is on here. When I talk about how things were awhi...
@Terry_B
Yeah for purposes of my argument, 2018 is basically now. I mean that was late PS4 generation, when the trends we are seeing now were already in place. I'm talking about longer ago than that.
@Einhander1972
Sure. I'm not saying individual people like that didn't exist. I have been one of those people for awhile. I'm saying that in the 360/PS3 era when there was some big Xbox exclusive that was also on PC and tons of PlayStation fans...
@neutralgamer1992
Yep. I can't stand it. I have steam and I tolerate GOG, because they at least theoretically have a different mission than steam (a focus on older games not available elsewhere). But beyond that, it just gets obnoxious. When a friend tells me I should try a game or that they want to play some multiplayer game together, and it doesn't show up on a search on Steam, that's usually the end of the road for me.
I love how we continue to embrace the contrary narratives that live service/GaaS games suck and are ruining the industry and that every multiplayer game that doesn't have consistent content updates sucks.
