EQ emu's ftw!
Quarm? THJ?
THJ right now!! I've been playing on emu servers for so long. I've played on almost all of them.
While I agree that some of the reasons are because of industry direction and affordability. I do have to mention also that it could also be because of nostalgia, familiarity, simplicity and people still chipping at their library.
Upvoted for mentioning simplicity.
I have been playing Galaga regularly since 1981. Still play it at least once a week.
92% of my playtime is Minecraft, makes sense.
World of Warcraft.
Me a fraction of a fraction of the gamer community playing only recent PCVR games and also Noita.
Any recs for person who enjoyed HL Alyx (+ community mapsets) and Ancient Dungeon VR?
If you like roguelikes like ancient dungeon i would highly suggest until you fall and for a more story based game if you haven't played lone echo 1 and 2 you're in for a treat.
The most expensive game I've bought recently is Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries, which came out 4 years ago.
With different mods each playthrough can be quite different too. That's why easily modable games are awesome for their price. Of course I just like being in a big shooty mech to blow stuff up so may be biased on that one in particular.
Helldivers 2 came out in 2024
By definition, that's last year, so it's an old game.
Bwuh?
