For me it’s Diablo II. Granted I’ve played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn’t grab me as much as D1 did.
Granted I don’t hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.
When the corpos declared “no Sims 5, Sims 4 forever and ever” when that isn’t even the best designed of the Sims sequels by far…
They’re also currently running one of my least favorite thing, a FOMO event. Its all actually like, free. Its not a battlepass (for now, lol). But I still hate the feeling of being FORCED to play a game I dont really feel like playing right now out of fear of missing stuff.
They also had a login bonus event a few months ago but at least all that required me to do was open the launcher like 6 times in the space of a month.
I hate FOMO pressure and I often quit games that push it too hard so I can break the toxic forced habit-forming they’re pressuring me into.
It took me being physically unable to play Destiny 2 for several months due to hip surgery to break the FOMO that game instilled in me. I thought I was stronger but damn do they know how to prey on the neurodivergent
I will always hate the treat defender take that “well this doesn’t bother me and I don’t have a problem with it so it shouldn’t affect anyone else unless they’re weak-willed” or some passive-aggressive lowkey calipers like that.
Hexbear was infested with that during the struggle session against international corporate sports gambling apps.
