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

if you mention the capitalism, this strikes me as similar to saying "crony capitalism", pvp itself is the problem.

Why are skins and progression systems inherent to PvP games?

They aren't, but from what i see there is much more pvp games than co-op and they are much more popular and much lower dregs, relying way more for generally micro scams

To be honest i was probably too narrow, all multi games except perhaps hot seat should be banned. PvP are the worst of the worst though.
