Take a look at why John D. thinks RPGs may have influenced modern gaming and may have ruined them, or just maybe changed them for the better. What do you think?
In 2020 the sheer number of game streaming subscriptions makes you wonder where you should focus your energy and money. Are you are looking for a streaming subscription to satisfy your gaming needs? Well, we put together a table overview for you to peruse and possibly see which ones you might prefer, or see why some of these are now redundant services.
Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.
"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.
The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.
Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

A 24-year-old inhabitant of Poland has received nearly 9 thousand charges of illegal distribution of games. His idea was to buy digital versions of the games and then resell access to the account to many people. Losses he caused were valued at nearly $260,000. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them
Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions
I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though
not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.
so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.
This week on the Game Deflators #podcast, John and Ryan discuss the loss of Nintendo Exclusives, Pokemon, and TemTem. Also in the gaming world, we can't forget about the Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft is re-hiring a a marketing exec of the Xbox 360 days and the PlayStation continues to proove why it will be a force to be reckoned with this next console generation.
To round off this episode the duo tilt their Game Boys and play some Pokemon Pinball. This classic game came out in 1999 to relatively good reviews. Does it still hold up for gamers?
I think it's helped quite a bit.
I don't think it has ruined the genre. I just think it is going to take time for developers to find a way to make certain aspects from RPGs fit and work the right way in other genres.
There is definitely the good, the bad, and the ugly, when it comes down to it, lets be honest.
Been saying it for years. Ever since Skyrim and games like it began to sell like a high end genre RPGs are seen as the en vogue money maker and every game strives to have some sort of RPG element because they think that's why people buy games. Same thing with "length of game". Everything is way too long and with way too much side stuff to do. It feels like padding in so many games. The games that sell well do these things well to make it not feel like padding but necessary and meaningful content. If the game doesn't make the player feel like there is a point to all of this other than it just being there then it's not effective and therefore annoying.
I like RPG elements, but not all games need them, nor do they all do it right, which can be an issue. Also, idiots don't know what a real RPG is any more, arguing that everything is one.
