    I’m gonna make a microtransaction-laden gambling trap competitive multiplayer dating sim, get EA to publish it, and title it “🖕”

    Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.

    Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don’t. 🤷‍♂️

    Anything with a subscription is a no for me. I think subscription games are less popular than they used to be, but I never played WoW because paying every month seemed excessive to me.

    Most shooters. Especially like CoD. Not interested. I enjoy the original doom, but that’s cartoony violence fighting demons. Some of the far cry games I’ve enjoyed, with some reservations.

    Almost all free to play games. They don’t feel like an honest deal most of the time. Like, Warframe was good somehow. But a lot of them feel predatory or annoying.

    Purely pvp games. No mobas or battle royales for me. I don’t want to deal with other people like that. A little pvp in a game, like dark souls, is fine. But I’m not looking for that to he the main thing, typically.

      Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.

      I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.

        Microsoft was always cold blooded, you probably just weren’t aware of it. Microsoft lost an anti-trust case and was almost broken up in 1998 for its practices, but appealed and came to an agreement with the government.

    Multiplayer anything, dating sims, roguelikes. I will play single player games that offer multiplayer but never the multiplayer part. Oh and gatcha games, waifu collectors, etc. and anything p2w. Fuck that noise.

      What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.

      The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.

    These days damn near anything that costs more than 30. Because the extra money isn’t enough, they want to sell you $5000 in hats, too.

    • Anything from EA.
    • Anything from Ubisoft
    • Anything Epic exclusive.
    • Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM).
    • Anything competitive PvP multiplayer.
    • Anything “free” to play.
    • Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me “engaged”.

        I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.

            “kernel level” means the deepest level of the computer. It’s like giving a houseguest a key to the safe in your bedroom.

              People really don’t understand just how invasive this is. At that point, if it was programmed to, it could pretend to obey your uninstall directive, while actually overriding your attempts to uninstall the game.

        Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
