If the games I play the most are not the games I enjoy the most, then these games are preying on psychological behavior.

pretty sure these sites have instructions. Just put in your payment info.

European Laws seek to criminalize this volatile targeted exploitative behavior of 'game developers'.

A closer look at these developers reveals the modern game developers to be uninspired and exploitative, lacking a true vision, utilizing software that was built by another person.

If there was morality in this field, then it is my belief that heavy taxes should be applied onto these individuals to lift their money and redistribute it to those who created the game engines. This is my perspective however.


Should other countries adopt European regulations?

Talking about payment info… What about pirates? Pee-raa-tees
Was this pirate population a realistic solution to bringing about an age of artistic expression?

During the age of gaming, there was an age of cracking and game cracking.

There was a time where it was impossible to stop game cracking, but as consumer behaviors have changed through a media campaign on google with social media influencers saying they dislike pirates, we have seen the weakening of this community.

Furthermore we have seen fear mongering for those who dare try pirating software.

Continuing this interactive rant…
Organization for such passion projects seems like a distant memory…
Nobody truly wants to sit down to figure out how to do something…

If we cannot get the games we desire, then we will have to make them. Is this not true?

What the fuck are you talking about? The cracks are as available as they ever were. In fact more available now because they have to release 4 or 5 versions because every game is released half finished now so they have to keep releasing updated cracks for all the patches.

This is the real reason you have to buy games now is immediate access to patches since no game comes out anywhere closed to finished anymore. That and the fact that most mods are released exclusively through steam workshop now.

I have only paid for multiplayer games several years in a row now

I love itch io, like the issue is a lot of it is sifting through trash and garbage to find something enjoyable, but it is there, we live in a glorious age of art despite capitalism because of how nebulous the internet is, if you're okay with going through a whole bunch of mid to bad games it's the go to website, especially for free short experiences or porn
