They Took The Fun Out Of Gaming

There was a time when you could pick up a game, play it for an hour, put it down, and come back whenever you felt like it. No daily login bonuses. No battle pass expiring in 12 days. No season content you'll miss forever if you don't grind this week. Just a game. That you played. For fun. Somewhere between the live service revolution and the FOMO economy, the industry quietly got rid of the casual player. Not by accident. By design. This is how it happened. And what we lost when it did. #CasualGaming #GamingEssay #LiveService #GamingIndustry #VideoGames #GamingCulture #AAA #ProbablyRiku #GamingHistory #FOMO #FortniteEffect #GamingDied #VideoGameEssay #IndieGames #GamingCommentary
