I wouldn't call it bombing if the problem is legitimate, and server issues on an online game is definitely a big problem.

There's like at least one xpac coming down that will somewhat revitalize the game, support won't end tomorrow.
This is just blizz squeezing for more money, like every other game with an MTX shop.

Sadly this is then going out of their way to stop people with old OSs from playing their games, even though they would still technically run.

There's not necessarily any malicious intent. Some features require breaking backwards compatibility.
Supporting old platforms is bad for everyone, it locks out stuff and takes dev time. People need to learn to update their OS.

In these days of GAAS they won't let you run old versions of their games because of $. They want you tied to their launcher, advertisements and whatnot.
There's just no reason not to update your OS. Old devices run perfectly well on linux with its lower memory footprint. Running an old, unsupported OS and connecting to internet is asking for trouble.

There's no such thing as using the internet safely.
Packets you send can be intercepted.
Websites you browse serve ads with malware.
You can be hacked.
All of these are made easier on outdated OSes.

Control - the first game to get me to turn on cheats in decades

I finished Control last week, likely the best game to marry a creepy funhouse with a sprawling government office that you’ll ever play. I was up and down on this one for a few months. There’s a fun narrative and plenty of atmosphere, but I wasn’t always enjoying the gameplay....

That’s when you have to switch to the gun.

The problem about this is that the gunplay is downright awful, probably intentionally to make the "magic" feel more rewarding. Aiming at a moving, airborne target from 30m away is not my idea of fun. You're also overly squishy, and can't lower the difficulty, because fuck accessibility i guess.

Each mission will tell you what area it’s in

Yeah, that's a start, now give me a usable map and either good level design or objective indicators.

No. Mouse + KB. I played through the game a while back though, I forced myself for the second half.

It was just a very unpolished experience, the gameplay was worse than ME1 as a comparison. Enemies spawning randomly, getting hit from behind with no radar, can't move around the battlefield because very squishy... And that's before we get into the garbage map and objective indications.
