    Ubisoft, epic, ea, Blizzard/Activision…

    I wont say Bethesda because I’m hoping for another Doom or Quake.

      _EA is the fucking devil. They bought my favorite game, Ultima Online, and ruined it. _

        That’s tragic and I feel your pain.

        I’m glad that game had such a community surge of custom shards to keep it going, but it sure fractured the community. :(

        get in line. ubisoft is the same by the way. they own the rights to my favorite IPs: prince of persia and flashback and all they’re doing is releasing shovelware.

      The way that Bethesda has handled Doom has been nothing short of excellent. Hopefully they continue to support Id however they need it to keep on making great games.

        Generally, yeah. The way they worked with Mick Gordon last game was awful though.

          I didn’t know about that whole fiasco. At least the end product was good. I feel bad for Mick Gordon though. I’m even more impressed that he did so well despite having to deal with that nonsense.

        Well Doom 2016 at least. Doom Eternal fucked over Mick Gordon and DLCfyied the game. The cracks are forming.

      What’s the problem with Epic Games, besides No Tux no Bux and anti cheat rootkits?

      I mean those suck, but it has to be more than that right?

        Delisting and shutting down the Unreal and Unreal Tournament games. General lootbox bs.

            Delisting the single player games that don’t require a master server to be maintained was just salt in the wound.
