Let's face it. The days of having to make a decent game to get sales is dead. Now it's churn out games with in game purchases and add-ons to maximize profit.

I love the internet, but it surely is a shit place right now. It's now just a place to make as much revenue as possible. Going back to a 56k modem would be too painful but man the internet was just so cool back then. No ads, just the feeling of something new and everyone was in on it.

There are still great places on the Internet, you just have to seek them out. It's the ones that are spoon-fed to you by the corporations that are soulless, adfilled shitlands.
