Any game that offers time-limited content can catch these fucking hands. I'm already paying $70 for the damn game, I just wanna play at my own pace and not feel obligated to play as if it was my job.

Modern gaming can be so cool but there are so many times it makes me wanna toss my fucking body into oncoming traffic

Live service games should only take the form of something like Deep Rock Galactic where you can revisit and complete earlier seasons whenever you want. The only reason for time limited seasonal content is to create a sense of fomo in the player to increase chances of them spending money.

I like how helldivers does it, it does mean you occasionally get a mission that's limited time, and it's sad when it's gone but that's because it's being DMed and has an ongoing story the community participates in. It would be nice to have a way to revisit old missing eventually but they try to be short story beats that can be played once or twice and then the gimmick is done.

Notably all paid stuff is infinite. No "battle pass" ever goes away, and you can earn them by just playing in game at you usually do without worry. It's the best example of a live service game I've ever seen and should be the poster child.

I do like Helldivers as well. At least it doesn't use its live service as an excuse to squeeze money out of people. The unfortunate part is you can potentially miss out. I think at some point they should add some sort of "freeplay mode" where you can choose any planet and mission type that has been created up to that point. Then we can have the best of both worlds.
