I used to be annoyed with Konami and EA, but it has nothing to do with them.
Even microtransacrions are not to be blamed.
Community as a whole became thick as shite and you build a product in order to sell it to the masses.
All the initial releases, year by year, are showing glimpses of greatness.
Should developers be blamed if community shouts to change it?
We grew up on different type of games - challenging, difficult. Beating them was rewarding and the feeling of reward resulted in joy.
Now majority of gamers are spoiled brats who only take joy from beating other players. They dont want complex games. They dont want realistic games. They want to win at all cost.
And as much as they can "accept" another spoiled brat beating them - they wont accept anything else interfering.
Thats toddlers mentality - i lost coz I was cheated. Tantrum city.
I truly feel sorry for those who feel so pasionate about football games that they cant play anything else. But there's nothing here for you anymore.
