Every *multiplayer game

I play about a hundred games a year, and haven't opened a game with microtransactions in about half a decade.

At that age, maybe Among Us or Minecraft?

Gearbox bought the franchise from its original devs about a year ago, and this is one of their attempts to capitalize on that purchase.

Dunno if this is exactly the kind of thing you have in mind, but a person known as 'Yuvi' has been singlehandedly maintaining publicly available servers for the original Demon's Souls for about 4 years (the official servers shut down about 5 years ago).

Thanks to Yuvi, you can still play the original game with all online functionality, regardless of whether you're playing on PS3 or RPCS3.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

All the From Software RPGs since Demon's Souls work like that too. (Not the lack of menu, but the lack of an interactive save system because it's just constantly autosaving).

It's incredibly convenient to always be able to quit the game at any time and know you'll be in the exact place and position you were when you start up again. And it has the added benefit of preventing players from save scumming.

Best Android app for emulating DS in my experience is DraStic.

e.g. means 'for example.' I think you were looking for i.e. (which means 'in other words' or 'to be specific').
