without threatening games studios or requiring that capitalism collapses first, what are methods you would use to fix these dumb multiplayer games

because unfortunately i think these guys want skins and progression systems now bleayyeaakkck

i think we gotta trick em into thinking they've got skins. my idea is that you get to keep your skins but only until you die, and then it turns into a puff of greasy smoke and you go back to looking like your friend Leonard dressed in lazertag gear. make 'em spend in-game currencies that aren't tied to real world dollars and i think we have essentially a Skins Methadone Clinic

what are your ideas on how we solve this disGUSTING state of multiplayer games

Quake wars had the right of it. You have in-match progression, not meta progression. Go on a massive spree? You unlock cool new thing until match ends. The dopamine ladder has no limit because you reset every time you load in, but it’s a fair field because even the seasoned vet starts at rung 1 at the match start.

Never got to play the Wolfenstein one, heard good things.
