Perhaps if people stopped buying those shitty anti-consumer consoles, but people never change, and after all, “iTs jUsT A GAme bRo ahaha” - player that bought fifa every year for the full price
It likely would have died out if it was JUST online as a sole benefit. People often forget Xbox Live pushed the online experience forward before we had things like Discord. Now, to stay competitive they offer free games and other benefits.
People do change. But they have to start from somewhere.
You can convince a 20 year old on a budget not to buy a PS6 by showing them a PC rig at 1/4 the cost with a better catalog. But you’re not going to convince an 8 year old who wants parents to buy it because a guy in a TMNT costume did a TikTok dance telling him to buy it. That’s just 8 year olds for you.

There are folks with more disposable income than sense. And $80/year to get the players you’re familiar with on the roster, when you’ve got a decent job and a couple of roommates to play with, simply isn’t a big deal. At the same time, you get older and you have less free time and suddenly you’re not playing soccer video games anymore because you don’t recognize the players. And then maybe you end up going back to the old FIFA titles because you’re nostalgic for your youth.
But this idea that people just mechanically buy all new FIFA titles forever really neglects how people get old and stop playing the games at all. And the industry has to bring in new younger people with billions of dollars in saturation advertisement if they want to keep churning out titles.

I don’t understand how anyone that plays online games would buy a PS or an Xbox. Paid online is so dumb.
sheeple, put simply
buying a console is trading literally EVERY aspect of your experience for convenience.
I swear people in the future will trade their first born in just for convenience.
