    None of those yearly recicled buggy trashy sport games should be 70 or 30 dollars even. Why people still buy that shit?

      A lot of people are only passingly interested in video games. For people that just want to sit down and play something having to learn about the game and how it’s played is work, not entertainment. I can see how someone who only games maybe once a week could have some real fun playing a sports game. It’s very easy to pick up because they already know the rules. I don’t agree personally, for me games are the most fun when I’m interacting with a new mechanic, but I am also willing to grind for hours optimizing and learning to push the game to its limits. If you don’t have the time for all that, but you still want to game, sports games are a perfect entry point. Not even I can come up with a justification for the pricing though.

      Because they like to play those games. Quit gatekeeping others and mind your own shit.

          Trashing an entire category of gaming and the people that play them isn’t “discussion.” It’s gatekeeping.

            No. It’s not. They’re gibing their opinion that these sportsgames are buggy and not worth a lot of money and also asks why people buy them.

            The one that is gatekeeping is you by telling them what to do and in a very rude fashion.

            Keep your aggression outside of this place please. If you think that is an unfair assessment, use arguments and convince people.

              ROFL! Dude asks why people “still play that shit” without offering an argument for discussion and you’re telling me I’m aggressive and that I should offer reasons before posting??

              Sure. I’ll play along-

              How about…. People play it because they enjoy sports games. Is that’s a good reason? And for the record… if I wanted to be aggressive,I would have countered with “why do people play shit like Pokémon, or DBZ games? I didn’t do this because it’s not for me to decide what others play or why. Nor do I judge anyone for what they play regardless of my opinion.

              Perhaps this is not a sentiment shared often in this community.

                I make a difference between referring to an inanimate object as „shit“ and getting up in someones face about it.

                This is why I say it’s aggressive. And yes, you would have been right to call them out and say „because people enjoy it.“ or something along those lines.

                It’s not worth discussing this at length. Dude has a point that many people have a problem with the software for different reasons and you have a point that people enjoy that stuff. All I‘m saying is please be kind to eachother.

                Have a good one.
