Remember when video game launches were fun and exciting and you couldn’t wait to get your hands on it, literally?
Yeah, I dunno… maybe I’m just old now but this day and age feels like that techno dystopian trope I’d always find in the games and movies I used to play and watch excitedly as a youth.
We already know what is going to happen because we’ve seen it all before. At launch the game will be riddled with bugs, there will be obscure server connection issues (for a singleplayer game), complaints, sadness, tears and anger. I’ll pick it up when it’s on sale and if it runs on Linux.

They still are, just not from these corpos. I am still excited for launches from small teams of maybe 3-10 people working on their passion projects.
I’m excited for Streets of Rogue 2, and that’s kinda similar to GTA.
