Sweep @0xSweep · 6h The Police once raided a warehouse and found 3,800 PlayStations running FIFA
Ukraine's security service raided a warehouse in Vinnytsia expecting to find a crypto mining farm
Instead they found PS4 consoles stacked on racks from floor to ceiling
Every single one was running FIFA 21 on autopilot, farming Ultimate Team coins 24 hours a day to sell on the black market
The operation was stealing $259,000 a month in electricity and causing power blackouts across the entire city
The consoles alone were worth $1.5 million
EA makes $1.6 billion a year from Ultimate Team
The FIFA coin black market is worth over $200 million a year
At black market rates, 3,800 consoles farming coins 24/7 could pull in $3 to $5 million a year |

cyberpunk 2077 also looks pretty good after the initial glitched launch. |

Personally I would put Rimworld and the steam release of Dwarf Fortress up there but those are much more niche in appeal
And that's just the games I've played. There's also shit like BOTW/TOTK that everyone claims is a Great Game. We're Just Old, champ. |

Do you think it was in the 2000s when always online multiplayer became normal, then digital storefronts, persistent accounts, voice chat, achievements, DLC etc? Or do you think it came in the 2010s with streaming, creator culture, discord servers, battle passes and identity-heavy fandom? I think In the early 2000s-2010 it was starting to become identity-adjacent but wasn't too bad yet. But by the time streaming and seasonal events came around it was a complete immersive alternate reality with no chance of escape (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5857133&forum_id=2",#49818370) |

Date: April 15th, 2026 8:35 AM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) I don't know how you can say there is a lack of games. if anything there are too many. of course, jaded and anhedonic 40somethings are going to dismiss every one of them because they are just projecting their disillusionment in a symbolic fashion. that's understandable because Life is Fundamentally Meaningless.
Technically speaking though, when a good game like BG3 comes out it isn't just "a game". It is THE game, a platform unto itself that you can spend countless hour playing around in. There are many like this now, with the most notable being Fortnite Minecraft Roblox.
The problem is that if none of these appeal to you then you don't have a "The Game" and thus is born the State of Gaming. |

Date: April 15th, 2026 2:40 PM Author: cowgod As someone itt said games used to have novelty. They are literally GAMES. That’s what they’re good for aside from if you’re into the competitive aspect. The medium is in an extremely stagnant State if the most someone can get excited for is “wow a Roguelike.” You couldn’t get away with Roguelikes in 1998. If you tried you’d get fucking liquidated and bought out by Midway. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5857133&forum_id=2",#49819664) |
