I play video games for 1 afternoon a month now and they're 20+ year old games. When they rolled out that always online shit, the writing was on the wall.
I use to love split screen whether it was top spin/virtua tennis, mariokart 64, or whatever the hot fighting and sports game was at the time. It was just so much better getting together with a group of buddies in the same house, and ordering some pizza and having a blast face to face. Online gaming no matter how good it gets will never be able to replicate this in my eyes.
Who cares. Fuck these companies lmao.
