    Well, ever since the whole thing where macrohard/mojangles/whichever decided “you know what minecraft needs? CLIENT SIDE CHAT SCANNING AND CENSORSHIP!” I decided to switch over to Minetest and have never looked back.

    I don’t mind big servers having censorship because that’s their deal and they can use whatever chat filters/plug-ins they want, but do we really need singleplayer to be censored? Or our chat messages to be scanned for things mc deem inappropriate? Absolutely not!

    Any dev’s online game that does not want to support Linux in their AC for whatever reason, even if it is a matter of just flipping a goddam switch.

      Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.

      I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.

        Microsoft was always cold blooded, you probably just weren’t aware of it. Microsoft lost an anti-trust case and was almost broken up in 1998 for its practices, but appealed and came to an agreement with the government.

    Anything with a subscription is a no for me. I think subscription games are less popular than they used to be, but I never played WoW because paying every month seemed excessive to me.

    Most shooters. Especially like CoD. Not interested. I enjoy the original doom, but that’s cartoony violence fighting demons. Some of the far cry games I’ve enjoyed, with some reservations.

    Almost all free to play games. They don’t feel like an honest deal most of the time. Like, Warframe was good somehow. But a lot of them feel predatory or annoying.

    Purely pvp games. No mobas or battle royales for me. I don’t want to deal with other people like that. A little pvp in a game, like dark souls, is fine. But I’m not looking for that to he the main thing, typically.

    Anything episodic or with an online social component. Basically anything that leeches significant time from my life. I don’t want to be in my deathbed thinking about how many thousands of hours I spent on various games.

    People bragging about having 5,000+ hours in a single video game make me deeply sad.

    Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don’t. 🤷‍♂️

        This. I’m OK with permadeath (and in game), but when a game is setup in such a way that most playthroughs just aren’t winnable, even by someone with perfect knowledge, I hate them.
