I don’t know how i got here and I’m scared
well, the same as the others really: Time.
I think once SMS and phone apps became the norm over having Messenger apps on our Desktops all the time, that was pretty much it for these applications over all. It was a long, slow death. But MSN was one of the firsts to call it quits if I recall right. Oddly the IM app I liked the most. It’s just not many of my friends used it. They were all AIM/AOL users.
Scam Citizen more like it
Yup! I was thinking the same exact thing a moment ago. Bad choice calling it Doom III
Considering? LUL okay. They have been!!! the whole time!
Now it’s no longer cheaper than WoW. Great!!!
The only thing I can agree with on this article is that. yes. I too had a “social life” outside of my first job when I was younger. I went to work at min wage job. Came home at 5. Dropped $100 every Friday on the kitchen table (because I had to pay rent to my mother), and immediately went back out to who knows where.
The thing is that was the only thing I had to worry about back then. I did not have a car. I could not rent an apartment because at 18 in 1995 how the hell are you gonna have Credit in the first place out of High School? And I’m from the glorious chest-beating, so proud to be neglected by my parents, Gen-X.
Other than that, I didn’t read the whole article because I agree with everyone else’s sentiment. I for one am happy a lot of those things are gone today.
A lot of these old farts like to point their fingers at youth today because they didn’t immediately move out of their parents home at 18… well I wonder why that is?
I always thought WoW was Cartoonish looking. I remember back on Everquest my guild and I were talking about WOW when it launched and we laughed. Called it’ “Baby’s first MMO”. Now mind you Everquest wasn’t any better in looks. There aren’t many Realistic MMOs out there.
