I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Since I haven't seen it yet, Dead by Daylight is a pay-to-win disaster that is consistently making boneheaded decisions nearly every update.

I had a feeling it would show up sooner or later! Eve, DBD, ARK, and LoL are the 4 I thought of when posting this. No one has fun playing these games. We play them almost certainly because of a moral failing at this point.

I think it's at least possible to play DBD, Ark, and LoL for fun. Just not likely! Those games definitely incentivize toxicity.

I noticed you didn't include EVE!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

True! I don't know anything about EVE lol.

The thing is, at least DbD and Ark can be incredible when you only play with friends. We have our own ARK server for years now and we all have lots of fun. DbD we only play when we do not need to take in any randoms. I think the games aren't bad per se. It's the players who make these games bad.

Oh I remember DbD in the early days. I think it all started going to shit with Bubba
