Fallout 76 didn't ruin New Vegas

Ultima online wasn't a "cancer" to the gaming industry

I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn't get the abomination that is the latest two installments.

Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron's Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can't speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.

Microsoft's streaming service has been running for a few years. I can play games I already own on a web browser, or a phone without having to buy a special copy like stadia required.

I can purchase any halo game on steam. I can play Minecraft on pretty much every device ever made. When playing those games I've been able to cross play multiplayer across platforms for years.

This acquisition is going to far and is rightfully being blocked, but I feel like everyone has a hate boner for Microsoft while forgetting how actually walled off Sony and Nintendo have been forever.
