Turbo Zone!

Groovy!

COOOOOOOOOL!

and I would like to see 9/11 replayed in Stunts. Well, we only have 3-story buildings, but that does not matter

You wanted...

(2400 units high towers, the real WTC would be ~8000; and I guess the aircrafts were different from McDonnell Douglas MD11, but still...)

Of course it's not funny at all.

Is it still funny if it happens to Stunts HQ?

Don't worry, triple seven is a way too rare guest in Budapest.

The non-existence of WTC became an adult.

Oh, man!  It's true!  But it was just a few weeks ago....

Man, long live offline games!  The internet has great things and has made our community possible, but it has also ruined a lot of what computers used to be.

You're right. DRM-free (Offline) games are better

In my opinion the problem arose when companies started to centralize online services in their hands.

In another topic we were talking about Doom. Well, the first two games of the saga possess probably the largest modding community of the whole gaming world, and they are still actively modded, see the annual Cacowards as awards for the best WADs of the year. Doom III is not so modded as Doom and Doom II are, but it has still a large base, with projects started years ago now in completion, such as Phobos starting not less than 10 years ago and available in its first episode since the end of 2018, while the second episode is still work in progress.

The Doom released in 2016 has basically no mods: support was very limited, if not absent, the software house allowed users to create their maps but with strong limitations justified only by the will to not create competition with the official contents, and so on. This, commercially speaking, has sense: with microtransactions, why do I have to allow you to create media, while I can sell you them for only 1 €, 2 €, 3 €... and you don't even realize how much is their cost, because you are using a prepaid card? But, in terms of game experience, it removes an important component.

Even multiplayer became less user-driven: with old games you were usually able to create a server, or join one, which was not under the direct control of any company. Now, several games allows the player only to connect to an official server, removing the chance of personalizing the gameplay.

And then the official and single server is turned off, and goodbye game.
