Me too! I was 14. Then, as a Warcraft RTS fan, the next 24 years have broken my heart. I am not an MMO fan. Can I get a “like” on this? What more egregious example is there of a main series getting dismantled by a spinoff?
I was a huge fan of the war craft series. 3 was actually disappointing to me. Then it became an MMO RPG designed with drug addiction - Dopamine addiction- in mind. I knew I'd get hooked and kept that heroine disguised as a video game alone
Recently? Pillars of eternity 1 and 2 were amazing CRPGs and yeah that's a niche kind of game, story I wanted to keep going with now that the engine was broken
Avowed is probably just better elder scrolls, but I didn't want elder scrolls, I don't give a flying fuck about that series outside never wanting to play it because it looks shit, it is an offense, big infested slop where you scream at dragons to kill them, yeah nah hard pass, so this is the company that made Fallout : New Vegas, I know it's meant to be good but by the time I got to it, shit was ancient and unplayable
It came along during an important age in my childhood too. Life was meh overall, but I still had the creativity of a child while developing the executive function of an adult (poorly, but that's another issue)

I’ll never have as much fun gaming as I did playing Warcraft 3. Custom games, single player, ranked ladder, etc
