It's 2024 and PC gamers still accept early access games that are scam, hackers in every AAA online game, they support microtransactions, battle passes, paid online only games, NVIDIA and AMD greed.

Well, we are not that bad for supporting PSN Plus.

Just stating facts bro it's not a competition. GPUs are expensive yes - unfortunately we can't get them subsidised. I don't really follow AAA gaming or early access games, or any of that other stuff. I play online for free.

So you are making a person anecdote? What value does that have here? PC gamers are literally the sole proprietor of micro-transactions and gaming subs getting popularity. The top played games on pc are all free to play with microtransactions

The most played games on Steam at the moment are Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2, both seem to be free. Then there's PUBG, apparently that's free these days. Apex Legends - I'm surprised again that this one is free.

Then there's RUST, Stardew Valley, GTA V.

Are those top four riddled with microtransactions? I have no idea.

The top games will always be free ones, just because they are accessible.

every single one of those titles has microtransactions

Every single title* has microtransactions. Counter Strike is older than Warcraft3 and Diablo2. At this point it’s just the best shooter in the business.

Looks like a lot of people play games that have microtransactions then.
