Main Topic – Has this Gen screwed the average gamer?

  • Broken games
  • Firmware setbacks
    • Not as good as last gen’s OS (Xbox One esp)
  • Network setbacks
  • Forcing players into pub matches rather than allowing clans
  • New console offerings mid gen
    • Confusion in marketplace
    • Are they upgrades or money grabs?
  • Pay to Win implemented
    • Endless grind vs being able to pay to get to a level
    • Game mechanics feel dull and compel you to pay to reach that next par
    • Need to pay to keep up with kids that don’t have as much going on in real world
      • Especially onerous when paying full price for the base game
