    If anything a game feeling “older” to me is a good thing considering the nickel-and-diming design by committee garbage that has taken over.

    You’re the one being dishonest. You and the other guy seem deadset convinced that calling something “old” is the equivalent of advocating for enshittified live service games. Here’s a hint: it’s not.

      Ok, then what does it mean to you? Were you confused why Baldur’s Gate 3 was made too? It’s an even older gameplay concept and did less to change it.

      Edit: I’m also struggling to see how I was being “dishonest” by sharing an opinion.

        Your argument is dishonest because you are completely misinterpreting what I’m saying - in plain English, you’re putting words in my mouth that I haven’t said. Then you’re attacking that made up concept instead of actually engaging in a discussion.

        Allow me to clarify:

        1. You’ve attacked “old” as me somehow implying that “new” is automatically better, which not only have I not said, but also don’t believe in

        2. With your Baldur’s Gate 3 comment you’re somehow implying that I think that ALL “old” titles are somehow bad, which is also not something I have said and also don’t believe in

        So to reiterate: I don’t think that new games are automatically better and I don’t think that old games are automatically worse. This is where your dishonesty stems from. I hope you actually understand that.

        Ok, then what does it mean to you?

        I have said this multiple times already but I guess I’ll say it again: it means Deadlock is not for me because I find it uninteresting. I guess I am just really disappointed that a company as revered as Valve could churn out something so bland.

        Bonus round:

        Were you confused why Baldur’s Gate 3 was made too?

        No.
