Just a tad behind you 😅

Here's a spoiler for anyone working at Microsoft.
Nobody cares or wants to pay extra for a shitty Fortnite Sub.
Fuck it off and drop the price.

I think Ghost of Tsushima forced them. Which is another open world game I fell off 😅
It also could be most gaming I do is on the steam deck ATM. So saving Shadows for when I'm on the console is helping.
And as much as I'd love a new Tenchu, I just don't trust MS enough to see the project through.

You say that, but I had the same with AC Valhalla, GR Wildlands and breakthrough, non of which I've finished. I only finished Unity after beating odyssey.
I'm currently playing Shadows, I don't feel the fatigue yet probably because I've not been consistently playing it. But I'm aware it may creep up

This and PW are the last 2 mainline MGS games I've never finished. I can't see me finishing PW, I was never a fan of the style, I've tried several times.
Open world Fatigue usually gets me in MGSV. But I'll definitely give it another go in the near future. Furthest I've gotten is the end of act 1.

I've Just been experimenting with vpns if you can find a free one and set it to USA, the age verification magically vanishes.

It's always relied on the community to help with that, which if you find the right people is great and I've helped out anyone wherever I can.
But that should never be what helps new/lapsed players get into your game.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not defending them here, but the main dlcs are all playable from shadow keep onwards.
The missing content is the red war and the first expansion.
The red war (D2) may as well have been a side story. forsaken dlc is the one that should never have been shelved.

The main reason the old people are leaving is the last expansion tied up the biggest story arc. With how things are going over at bungie a lot of us are using that as a jumping off point. This should have been a full destiny 3 reset. But instead they're just giving us smaller dlc expansions.

The condition was pretty bad. Case smashed to all hell, but the disc was still fine. Swap of a case later and all's good.
