  Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…

  …but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!

    Exactly. You’d have a blurb, a barcode, and some screenshots from a better looking platform than the one you had.

    I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢

  Why do you need an account of any kind to play a single player game?

    To be fair, it is a forced co-op game.

      Oh I was referring to FH but yeah that makes sense for Split Fiction

        Oh sorry yeah for FH you are most correct.

    It’s not a single player game.
