RE: ---- The Issues Of Modern Gaming ----
The problem is that the people just buy it anyways. I know many people who just think it is normal to spend 10$+/month on FIFA packs or whatever. To them it is almost as normal as paying your phone bill.
If I play a game it is usually an old one - this is why I started a steemit league for the best RTS game ever - Age of Empires II.
Yes it most certainly is a big part of the problem. We the consumers just suck it all up and if we do complain it isnt anything more than speed bump as we still buy the next game. I don't think people realize that you don't have to eat that sandwich.
Retro gaming is definitely worth looking into for some serious challenge in gaming, at a reasonable cost and without many of the aforementioned headaches of modern gaming. i mention it in a more recent post i made.

i plan to cover that more extensively soon actually so stay tuned for that one :)
True, retro games for the win :)
I will check your article!
Retro life, lol. Thanks for checking out my other article.
If you like retro - did you play Age of Empires 2? :)
Yeah i have played quite a few games in my time, lol. played AoE & C&C, but my fave was the first two Warcrafts, spent many hours on those. i would even draw out the matches in the campaign by minimizing enemy troops to only one or two structures and some peasants, then stripping the remaining resources from the map... THEN finishing off the enemy. There was literally nothing left when i was done, lol.
it was actually part of my own rules for the game, if you pwned the game you gotta make up new rules to keep it interesting. you have any of your own rules to keep gameplay interesting ?
Pretty much this right here, many of the people I know, my own parent included, think that is is perfectly fine and even "good" for them to regularly be spending $40+ on a game per person, monthly.
And we all know that C&C Tiberian sun was the best RTS game ever.
We have been conditioned to accept this as OK, its really not. This is why i referenced some psychological conditions in the article, we are getting played... hard!!!
Oooh a battle for the best RTS game, this should be interesting... lol
