GTA:SA actually had a nice segment about that on the talk radio. "God hates poor people!" TBH, 2017 has made the entirety of that station eerily relevant again.

I restarted one of my F:NV characters twice because of massive quest-breaking bugs. But the gameplay is enjoyable enough I'm not actually controller-throwing pissed about that, although god does it make me want to join the PC master race.

Power outages like that are pretty fun. Well, when there is no people dying and all that. Before they rebuilt the powergrid in the town I live in, I got to experience two complete blackouts. It was fucking spooky and kind of exciting to walk around outside when you couldn't see fucking anything. Complete, utter, pitch black darkness and the complete silence made things extra spooky.

ESO has similar crown crates with limited mounts

funniest fucking moment in all podquisition history right here

The thing that always gets me is the media going "oh but it ain't really that bad, because so and so". How have they not figured out that they're dealing wit a multi-billion dollar industry completely at home with hyperagressive business practices which some other industries could simply not get away with? The gaming community is almost like the art or antiques market in the sense that there is not a whole lot of laws governing what you can do, so they will literally do anything they can legally get away with.

I always thought it was Internet game network hah.

Shadow of War is 20 hours of content. 30 hours of grinding and the most disappointing ending to a game in decades.

Unlike E3, these people know how to set appropriate expectations.
