Why do I play all these games? Because it’s important that they’re played.

Because every game is a story, a world, a moment in time crafted by someone who cared enough to create it.

Because each one teaches me something new—about design, about culture, about myself.

Because in a sea of pixels, there’s magic waiting to be found.

And because, honestly? Sometimes I just want to escape, explore, and lose myself in different worlds.

So yeah. I own thousands of games, and I’ll keep playing them.

    The most recent ones I’ve noticed are Riders Republic and Borderlands 2. Helldivers also introduced a bunch of new microtransactions years after it’s launch.

      And what there is steam’s doing? Borderland’s a greedy IP from a greedy company. What do you expect?

        And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

      I have to say I never played those. Do these microtransactions lock content that was previously available out of the box?
