Everyone left after EOC and now those that returned play OSRS.

When I started playing OSRS last June I checked the player count that evening, 10k players in RS3 and 90k in OSRS.

The game has turned into one giant “limited time” event mill, and many of the new places are missing things like cute examine texts that gave it soul.

It definitely is, but these recent years have seen more and more unfinished games pushed to the finish line with game breaking bugs and missing content, all while charging AAA prices.

Capitalism is what it is, a metric for “success” cannot just mean you are profitable, you must be more profitable each year. Thus the enshitification of everything continues.

It is becoming difficult to “pay more for quality” as the quality of every publicly traded brand is the first thing that suffers when they are pushed to make more profits each year.

Good! Delay it til 2030! I am tired of unfinished games being released leaving angry gamers to abuse the devs who put their heart and soul into it. The only ones who win are the studios.

Same, everything we have purchased from them has been high quality.

To add simple storage you could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BQ6SHNP1?

I was blown away at the cool design (the case and cover are the heatsink, you install it with a thermal paste pad inside - how cool is that?!) and how inexpensive 1TB m2 cards are now.

If you want expandable storage, then maybe a NAS?

Husband set up one a year or so ago and it has been really cool. Easy to back up and access anything on it.
