You see, Billy.... long ago.... there was a beautiful thing called "couch co-op". You didn't speak to your friends over the headset. They would physically come to your house after school or on a weekend and you would spend hours upon hours playing side by side. It was glorious

What's happening now is people don't even play games in the same room anymore. They play online games with strangers from halfway across the country. Sometimes with people on the other side of the world.

That’s not the problem i was referring too. Online games is normal. My post is about how the games today all have extreme monetization. We have games that are 70$, and they still have a Battle pass subscription, along with store credits. We no longer have games that are just multiplayer fun without being GRINDY, or at least there are only few. Also, before, even if there was extra content, you wouldn’t be missing a lot, you would still have more or less the same experience as other people, but games now, have so many extra features that should be bought with real money, it is baffling.

The graphics weren't up to much so the designers had to compensate by making them actually fun and engaging. They designed a game to be played with you and your boys on a Friday night after school, sat on the couch sharing a pizza, god damn goldeneye all weekend.

Split screen 1v1s was the ultimate trust breaker

They said that they weren't looking at your screen, but they were looking. We all knew they were looking

Only experienced it a few times, because I was born in 2007 but the nostalgia is real
