I suspect this is exactly why Battlebit Remastered blew up the way that it did this year even though it looks like a Roblox game. lol

I think people are starved for a good, clean FPS that isn't mostly battling menus, cluttered UI, MTX, endless DLC, P2W, battle passes, lootboxes, daily login bonuses, timed events, grindfests, invasive anti-cheat (or an overwhelm of cheaters), constant updates that break the game, etc. I think there's a lot of us that just want to shoot stuff and have fun with our friends, like the glory days of online FPS. I'd happily fork over $60 today for that kind of experience, but I don't trust hardly any AAA publishers to keep their promises if they even did offer something like that.
