Anon is not satisfied

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
EA's Real Racing turned into this pay-to-play shit. I genuinely enjoyed that game back when it came out, then everything started to get monetized and you had to do various things fairly often if you wanted to make any sort of progress.
Why can't I just have a fun realistic racing game that doesn't try to cram "upgrades" that cost real money down my throat?
I hear ya. I am getting real tired of the paywalls and the rent seeking in something I paid for. It used to be confined to free to play games but it has gradually started to creep into fully paid AAA stuff now and that’s just unacceptable to me.
I grew up playing Gran Turismo 3, and that was an absolute blast. I had a Miata in the game that I put a lot of time into, and it taught me about how car tuning worked (to a certain degree, anyway). Fast forward a couple decades (ow, my back) - my wife (then-gf) had gotten me a PS5, and I immediately bought GTA7 at full price... Only to be met with an absolute assload of microtransactions.
It bothered me so much that I ended up going out and buying a PS2 off FB marketplace and digging out GTA3 from my parents' collection of games from my youth (they had sold the PS2 but nothing else from that stuff 🤷♂️).
