I wish they'd just let it through already. The way it looks, nothing changes for PlayStation gamers, Nintendo gamers get access to CoD for the first time since in years, Activision's back catalogue goes to a company that's way more likely to use it for something other than cool easter eggs in Black Ops games, CoD gets more accessible overall by being a part of the subscription, and Sony's complete market dominance gets another blow that once again forces them to compete and improve their platform.
If anything, I wish the FTC had been this aggressive when it came to the Zenimax purchase. All that really did was give Microsoft the ability to make those games Xbox-exclusive (establishing a pretty scary amount of western RPG dominance) and plop them on Gamepass.
I had to fight to get my friends to move from Messenger to Discord, and man, I dunno if I could convince them to swap to Matrix until Discord's enshittification levels start reaching the reddit-esque point of affecting the core user experience in favor of profit
That's kinda the problem with community-based experiences.
It might not be what you're looking for, but Temtem is listed as like 5GB on Steam. It's basically Pokémon except built as an MMO. The entire main story can be played in co-op, but I haven't found any of the dungeons or whatever yet as my friend and I have been doing a lot of exploration and side quests.
If that sounds interesting at all, it's part of this month's Humble Choice for $12 and that's the best deal I've seen on it. Just remember to cancel your subscription after redeeming the games in the bundle.
The equilibrium would be fine if they never made the mistake of annoying their users. I got tired of pop-ups, animated desktop stripper ads, random loud audio, drive-by malware and fake download buttons, and most recently, interrupting my videos and games to show me 30 second ads. It's that kind of overzealous creep the led to this problem on their end.
I second Liftoff, though I'm honestly just using it while I wait for Boost to get its Lemmy port. It's pretty fully-featured and I haven't had any technical issues with it.
Only gripe really is that the UI is a little obtuse in some very specific areas.
