One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

    Counterpoint: It’s just so much fun when you are starting on release day, not getting spoiled, no one has a clue where what is there is no meta and a lot of community interaction.

    E.g. Elden Ring, we started together at 12 am when it launched, killed the first couple of bosses. Then the next few days forums were filled with posts, people had different theories, NPC questlines were being discovered. It was the same two years later with the DLC. A friend of mine bought it finally and started playing last week. But he is .missing all of that.

        Yeah I have avoided so many game, movie, and tv spoilers, it’s not really all that hard. Plus you can write a review without saying anything about the story
