I don't know about you chaps but I absolutely detest the modern approach companies have with their franchises and games.

I remember you'd get the game on disc and that was it. Or maybe a expansion to go with it which improved it 100%

An example would be say the mortal kombat games, you used to be able to have all the characters or Unlock them. But now you gotta pay up to 100% the game if you want everything.

What rustles your jimmies lads?

Thank you!

I've hated them from the moment they started. I was looking forward to it before any game had it, thinking it would be like getting well made mods for like fifty cents or a dollar. But then it ends up being a color swap for $15 and shit. Low effort, and expensive for what you're actually getting.

Let me just go back to being able to drop a file into a folder and now I am Spider-Man, like I could do in Quake.

Give me back reasonably priced expansions that were like an entire sequel for half the price of the base game instead of $30 for a single dungeon.

And while we're at it: give me back server executables and a browser so I can host my own shit and find good, moderated places to hang out.
