HEY YOU, let's clean up the industry, pick 3 to remove forever
>microtransactions/dlc (pay 1x, the whole game is yours)
>selling early access (the games you can play are never in an unfinished state)
>time-limited content (no fomo, can get everything in the game whenever)
>political propaganda (current day politics won't plague your media)
>platform exclusivity (everything is on all platforms, you can bing wahoo on xbone now)
>denuvo / other shitty drm (you bought the files, they're yours, "always online" is gone too)
>shit optimization (no stutters and crashes ever again, gamebreaking bugs are kept to a minimum)
>censorship (any kind of it, including chat filters, backtracking on nudity / graphic content, dialog, historical things etc)
>abandonment (all vidya can be bought legally, and are maintained and playable forever, no end of life or sunsetting)
>remasters/remakes (instead: the original games get a patch for modern systems, backwards compatibility for consoles, only completely new games will be made)
can recommend more things not listed here

Remove exclusivity, censorship, and political propaganda.

Exclusively is gay especially when nintendo can't make their slop run on their own consoles. Censorship is gay make it a toggle i don't care if some pussy leftoid gets filtered by titties. Political propaganda is retarded. I'm here to play a video game not have you preach your troonouns at me. Games about politics like mgs or map games are fine. Shit that goes off rails to rant about how they hate racists or some dumb shit gives me cancer.

Ok bros why do we hate Microtransactions? I play some gacha and MMOs and I like the option to buy outfits. I don't think removing them would make devs put them in the game for free.

I already paid for those, they are even installed on my computer
a better question is why do they lock access to the files I own and occupy space on my hard drive behind additional purchases?

Gacha is an abomination and it must die! Moe and ecchi should not be limited to such a soulless and predatory format!

Same, thats one of the most retarded recent practices. A bunch of those games never even come out of that state because the dev is high off the cockteasing

Video games would no longer be profitable at all and the market would die.

Maybe they should fire 90% of unnecessary 'workers', then make good games without the bloat and pointless garbage, problem solved.

If you retards really hate this many things in the video game world, maybe you should consider finding a different hobby?
Just food for thought.

Very hard to choose but these three are probably the most important for me and I can work around or overlook the rest.
