   I’ve been playing and enjoying games like Virtua Tennis 4 for more than a decade, and these jokers want to come along and say “we’re absolutely shutting down your SINGLE PLAYER game in two years.” #StopKillingGames

     @ReverseModule I hear this. Especially regarding the preservation aspect. As far as the greed, and the live service crap: Publishers can learn something from gaming’s history; otherwise the industry is headed for another crash.

     I wish games like Witcher 3 and BG3 would become the high watermark of how to properly do things.

     @killyourfm This is becoming a plague. I seriously hope the current movement grows and we can have some impact. Apart from losing money essentially, it's also a videogame history preservation issue. It's insane profits make us delete our own history.

     Something needs to be done and quickly.

     @killyourfm A friend of mine I grew up with has played Tennis games on various consoles and PCs for a long time, and also enjoys the sport in real life. Once he finds this out, he'll probably rant over beers the next time I see him lol.

     @s31bz I kinda wish I could overhear that rant. I’d probably pump my fists in agreement.
