StaceyPowers Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 What possibility do you dread most concerning the future of gaming? The end of physical discs? Everything turning into microtransactions? Needing to be online to play any game? No more single player games? Not being able to play your old games because you can no longer purchase compatible hardware? A move away from types of games or game content that interest you? Something else altogether? @kingpotato @skyfire @The Blackangel @Alyxx @DylanC @LadyDay @killamch89
killamch89 Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Everything turning into microtransactions is what really scares me to be honest, That and the streaming games trend the Google Stadia is trying to push. StaceyPowers and kingpotato 2
The Blackangel Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 How about all of the above? I hate online gaming, especially if it’s multiplayer. I won’t submit to the whims of others if I want to do something else. Also I’m not willing to waste my time relying on someone else so I can succeed. If it all goes digitally online, then you’ll never see my broke ass again. Maybe an antique store will have a few physical games that are of interest, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

LadyDay Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Of the ones you mention, micro transactions and lack of single player games are the ones I am most concerned about. I want my games to myself, or play them with friends, I don't want strangers in my game. And micro transactions I simply won't do. Period. I don't want to lose track of how much money I'm spending on a game and I don't like feeling like I'm constantly being milked for money. I'll happily buy proper packs of DLC to a game I love, but I refuse to pay little things constantly in order to progress properly in the game! killamch89 and StaceyPowers 2
kingpotato Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I agree, all that is scary, I could understand physical discs ending one day but I dont want to be online or having to pay micro transactions on every single game. I remember a time when I was a kid and all I needed was a good gameboy and the light on the road during the night to be able to play my games.
skyfire Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 I think the AI and the gaming would overtake our everyday life. I think AI is definitely going to put us into game world where we spend the time the most.

Patrik Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Cloud gaming is the only that worries me about the future of gaming, i can't believe that it's spreading, especially that i'm a hardware Enthusiast :(
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 What I fear is having to pay different subscriptions to be able to play games from different platforms. And each platform breaking away further and further apart offering only exclusive games for their own platform. All the while everything moving to online based, leaving very little choice. I don't like how PC always has games available not on other platforms. Who's gonna stop those other platforms to form a contract with developers to only make the game available to their console? This is the direction cable tv has taken.

This is the direction cable tv has taken. That's kind of my concern too. I don't want these cloud-based gaming platforms taking over and having to pay monthly subscriptions just to play the game all the while never truly owning it.

I gotcha; I didn't know it was called cloud gaming as @Patrick already mentioned. Guess we all are fearing that.

I cannot for the life of me get why anyone with intelligence would ge - who am I kidding? Of course it's always the idiots that make these poor practices become popular in the name of "following the latest trend".
Heatman Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 When it comes to technology advancement, anything is possible and it might get to a time when gamers can be chipped to play some games and that can have a security breach of getting hacked like a robot 🤖.
