I don't know why people won't go back to older games. They're still there and a lot of them are still supported. If people want an FPS experience, just load up any CoD game from the past five years. Hell, Black Ops 2 is still still up and running in 2022, go to that. It was the last decent CoD game.

I think its more on the console side, because they are always releasing next gen games aren't compatible so most people forget them and let them die whereas on PC the lobbies are almost always full and easy to find a game, had Cross play been a thing years ago it would probably be very straight forward to go back to older games

It's the current gaming industry. It's basically trying to get rid of gaming history so they can sell the latest overpriced dogshit filled with loot boxes.

Yea a great example of that would be Medal of Honor, the moment EA noticed a fault in the franchise with Warfighter their attitude was yep time to shelve it for good

EA is just straight up an evil company. I refuse to buy EA games because their business practices are just a whole bag of nope

Men and so many got burnt by them last year with BF2042 great trailers etc I said after Warfighter I'm not gonna get sucked into it again but of course they got me BF2042 was basically the modern gaming age version of Warfighter due to the bugs glitches etc yet EA chooses to shelve one for good a continue to try to salvage the other great company ah lol

I don't preorder anything, or buy anything until way after it's release, anymore. I haven't been burned, myself, but I know a lot of people have been. I also don't trust any trailers made by the company. They're either pointless cinematics that tell you nothing, or carefully curated sections. They're trying to sell a product, after all.

Trust me, wait until a game has been released and plenty of reviews have come out for it. That way, you know what you're getting into.
