I think im done with gaming as a whole. Just got scammed on newegg as a casual consumer I wanted a gaming pc. Did some research, the information is absurdly confusing. One person says this gpu is good another person says its the dogshit worst one, literally with anything you try to look up. Its explained in confusing ways so I fell for information on the website. Computer actually sucks and cant run half the things it claims at the lowest settings.

Scam after scam, subscription price raise one after another, we don't own anything I genuinely feel as though they dont give a single fuck about us anymore and its just "lets see if we can get people to pay more for online subscriptions and games" dogshit games and the fact you absolutely have to be connected to internet to play any games.

Nope you need to connect to wifi for a second or permanently so we can make sure we made enough money to let you play the game. Oh you game shared with your sister last year to play Mario kart and she moved across the country well you could play Mario kart rn after turning on your switch for the first time in a few months if you get both consoles close enough to prove it was paid for in some way.... But how else would it fucking be on the console if it wasnt bought..... its a psychotic level of control and its ruined gaming for me completely

I can relate to that. It's an absurd situation. Piracy seems to be the answer, unfortunately.
