Slimy things like introducing p2w skins in DMZ, ending the best fps run I’ve had with friends in years?

Fuckers.

I haven't played multiplayer FPSes for a long time.

But last time I was playing 'em, multiplayer FPSes were a dime-a-dozen. Like, if one does something I don't like, it has to be the easiest genre to hop over to another on.

Has this changed, the field gotten smaller?

Sure there are plenty of good FPS games all the time. Me and my friends are in our early to late 40's so it's hard for us to get anything together for long periods of time since we all have Real Life(tm) going on. But every once in a while a game just hits, and DMZ had everyone in my clan hyped and we all played together regularly for a few months. It was truly awesome and just like the old days when we played Quake and Tribes together.

Then they started spitting out p2w shit and it just sucked the wind out of everyone's sails.

Microsoft says it won't do slimy things, hopes everyone forgot their entire history and the concept of capitalism

They just want to Reach Out, Hug and Smother. What's so horrible about that?

Phil's out of the circle of trust. Don't believe a single thing from his mouth.
