A-bomb to the current Situation regarding Gaming Companies and the Stupidity of most Gamer in general, I feel like people in Games become more and more Stupid, it feels like Evolution went full derp and forgot to add some brain cells but it is beyond me why people still buy into Games that Actively Promote Scam, Ripping off the customer and a lot more acts that could be considered Questionable or even criminal. I am an Oldschool Gamer, I grew up with modding my Game till it breaks, i grew up with Games that had an almost infinite lifetime thanks to the active mod Community, does anyone even remember what an Add-On is ? Developers nowadays don't want anyone to do even the slightest thing with their Game, not even improving it, since they gave the modding community the Death letter companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft and many more simply try to rip-off the Customer with DLC's season pass, Premium elite yada yada whatever no matter how you call it it is still ripping off the customer. Companies are fine with those tactics since the Typical Gamer nowadays lacks the basic Intelligence to even finish a sentence without saying yolo or swag. I am well aware those are harsh words but the truth is harsh and the truth is, humanity won't make it far if this goes on.

QotW: this actually connected to the answer Mike gave me about APB : "Don't play it !" In my case, it is the money I spend on the game in the last 4 years which exceeds the 1000$ by far, and the lack of Competition. there is no Game getting even close to APB, GTA Online is just a good Heist game, everything else is boring if I want to Race I start up my Assetto Corsa, if I want to play Deathmatch I play Quake or Unreal Tournament/Toxikk. if I want 24/7 PvP In a kinda big open world I play APB, there sadly is no alternative to APB. If there is a game that is better then one I currently play I probably leave for the better one, but I alway take into account how much money I spend on the other game.
--------------------------------------------------
Needless to say, all my friends stopped playing apb almost instantly and for 4 years I am Pretty roaming alone in APB.
Neverwinter. There are so many things wrong with this game: new content is almost non-existent and what comes is almost entirely reused maps and assets; PvP is a complete mess of pay to win; the lack of QA is nothing but shocking; end game is just grinding the same couple of instances to refine gear that has no content to match it; and a feeling that the studio has no pride in the game at all.
Why I stay: mostly as I'm in an active and friendly guild. If I didn't have that I'd almost certainly quit. Other than that there are the usual awful free to play tricks to keep people playing -- tiny rewards for doing things as you work your way towards a fixed target, the time invested already that you don't want to throw away, etc.
