Loot boxes, season passes, micro transactions: I'm sure there are some great modern games but as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s these concepts are so depressing.

I remember custom skins and new maps meant downloading them for free, made by some enthusiasts.

I remember trying to make my own maps in unreal ed. Servers were free to play on. Or you hosted your own.

Most the games I play are from that era, I own them on gog.com now. Or on an everdrive, or emulated. Though to be fair I barely have ten minutes a day to myself usually!
