And I’ll continue to not buy them and support indie developers instead.

Idgaf about online multiplayer, only local and singleplayer.
Me too. I’ve put more hours into Balatro and Tape To Tape than I care to admit…
Lmao rougelite hockey. Eventually there will be a rougelite for everything 😂
Tape to tape? Oh that’s new to me… Thanks friend
If you enjoy hockey and roguelites, it’s the game for you.
