      I've played WoW since launch to this July - like 16 or 17 years quitting during Cata and WoD. I once again got fed up with the plummeting quality of life and ever rising cash grab practices, so I just switched to FFXIV. Hopefully for good.
      Yes, they groomed you in their better years, but much like in an abusive relationship - you are better off cutting ties with a psychopath than come back seduced by their sweet talk, promises and your force of habit. And Activision is a prime example of a late stage corporatism built on very much psychopathic values. Let 'em rot without you.

    My son absolutely love the Skylanders games. He and his friends would get together at someone's house after school or on the weekends to play together for hours. They were expensive to get, but because he had so many friends to play with, they would "trade" characters for a weekend so they could all play different ones without having to buy every one of them... Good times 😸

      Reminds me of History of the Entire World.
      "Don't worry, the big publishers won't fail because they're not supposed to"
      For real though, it amazes me how companies like EA and Activision even continue to operate. Obviously big rich businessmen running it helps because they can just keep propping it up with their funding from Coca Cola, but I swear part of the contract with them must include a clause where you give up a hostage to the publisher for insurance' sake... like there are a lot of insanely talented developers under both those companies who could *easily* find contracts with other less cash-grabbing companies and pretty much guarantee a successful release.

    To this day I haven't played Modern Warfare Remastered. The whole bundle with Infinite Warfare thing was a obvious cash grab in my eyes when it was announced and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I waited and waited for it's inevitable stand alone release, only for them to take almost a year to do so and by the time they did I was no longer interested as I heard all about the multiplayer experience and how no one was playing it. This is something that really angered me with Activision and I believe what killed my love for the franchise. I was like a child when I heard about the remaster, yet I wasn't going to fork over $80 when all I wanted was said remaster. Could have been one of the games that sparked new life back into the franchise, but greed. :(
