That was my point.

I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its “stuff” expansions?

DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren’t alive during the shareware boom, or during EA’s early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren’t the target audience anyway.

I’d argue that they still meet the criteria, even the seemingly invincible characters, by making their flaw caring about someone close to them. Villains these days often present a danger not because they’re capable of killing the hero, but because the hero has a close personal attachment to someone that isn’t invincible.

We enjoyed Quantumania, but that could have been influenced by us watching it in a 4DX cinema. Sure there were issues, but it can’t really be criticised for setting up Kang as the next big bad as that was the plan at the time.

I just need you to say the word woke now, and I’ll have completed my incel bingo card.

What you mean is making games how you want them to be, not the overwhelming majority of gamers. Stop thinking everything is an agenda designed to limit your freedom.

Cosy games are meant to be relaxing, almost stress-free experiences that revolve around repetition and reward playing them in small doses each day. I can understand why hardcore gamers don’t like them, but at the same time they’re not made for them.

I’m guessing they’ll do it Suicide Squad style, with each being introduced to the others via exposition and / or flashbacks.

Cinemas would be great, if it wasn’t for the other people there. Watching a movie in the comfort of my own home, with the ability to enable subtitles, pause to go to the bathroom or grab a drink, control the volume, etc. is just a much better experience these days. The only thing you miss out on is the huge screen and the overpriced popcorn.
