Why do I play all these games? Because it’s important that they’re played.

Because every game is a story, a world, a moment in time crafted by someone who cared enough to create it.

Because each one teaches me something new—about design, about culture, about myself.

Because in a sea of pixels, there’s magic waiting to be found.

And because, honestly? Sometimes I just want to escape, explore, and lose myself in different worlds.

So yeah. I own thousands of games, and I’ll keep playing them.

      The most recent ones I’ve noticed are Riders Republic and Borderlands 2. Helldivers also introduced a bunch of new microtransactions years after it’s launch.

        And what there is steam’s doing? Borderland’s a greedy IP from a greedy company. What do you expect?

          And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

            So it’s the fault of the delivery-device? Why didn’t you make a backup of an older version just in case? Besides, last time I checked, you can. With a bit more hassle. All not the case for a “live” online-game. Which borderlands wants to be.

              …yeah? Of course it is.

              Why didn’t you make a backup of an older version just in case?

              I pay Steam to do that.

              Besides, last time I checked, you can. With a bit more hassle.

              Not interested.

              All not the case for a “live” online-game. Which borderlands wants to be.

              That’s exactly the problem.

        I have to say I never played those. Do these microtransactions lock content that was previously available out of the box?
