I only ever got into watching (primarily) Dota 2, then WarCraft 3, StarCraft, and StarCraft 2, with a bit of Counter-Strike thrown in if I was doing something with my hands or eating a big meal.
Then Twitch became complete **** so I only watch the Dota 2 International every year on YouTube. And even that I only watch reruns because they use Europe or China times. At least I can skip all the down time and commentary between games.

I really hate Skyrim. It's not the worst game ever but I hate it so much because it is a big budget game, highly praised, huge seller, and comes from a company that could do so much better. But they are determined to streamline and retardify it down to the smallest possible form. There is a list of stuff that Morrowind had which got aggressively stripped out for Oblivion. But then Skyrim stripped out even more. So it's barely even an RPG anymore. I really hate it.
It is tragic to see how the 90s classic developers got molested (mostly by EA) and run into the ground. The destruction of the Command & Conquer series really bothers me too, but there is a whole list of these devs and game serieses that got stamped out.sheet wrote: ↑ April 14th, 2026, 13:39SimCity (2013), the final nail in the coffin for Maxis, a company that made my childhood.
The Last of Us, attracting foids to the hobby and cementing the movie game as the default for AAA.
Diablo III, even though I played it for many hours and had fun, distilled the fun and simplicity of loot lust from Diablo II into a cynical and homogenized process. The itemization was boring, too.
