#PUBG is a game where the joy is often in ruining someone else's game.
This was peak schadenfreude.

@ElysianThus yes SKYRIM was the best example i could think of.
I wonder for most designers is it just more straight forward to allow stealing as a form of micro advancement.

@Annodea Barry Keoghan's steals every scene he is in. The scene by the lake is one of the best pieces of acting I have ever seen.

Every RPG:
Peasant: "We're desperate, the Baron's cruel taxes mean not all my children will survive the winter. Brave hero please gather 5 apples for our stores "
Hero: "I accept"
Proceeds to loot their every possession and life savings of 15 Gold to add to Hero's purse of 74K
Peasant: "You truly are the people's saviour"

Is there any RPG that calls out this behaviour?

@petraelliott it was on of my favourite games of that year.
It is a game that really respects your time and helps you make constant progress. Your going to have a blast.
After watch the NoClip YouTube doc on the game and if that game clicks try Pentiment.

Messi is now available as DLC in Call of Duty. I wonder if he's hitbox is smaller? Like Odd Job in Goldeneye will Messi become the new meta and the banned character for house rules games.

I don't usually play Call of duty, but this year's entry is really good.
But am I the only one who feels uneasy that most the people I'm shooting in Campaign & Warzone are waves of Russian and brown people?

There are so many other groups you could bring in under the umbrella of Modern Warfare; White supremacists, ecoterrorists, far right fascists, European based nationalists (from Ireland, Basque, Corsica etc), nation backed hackers & misinformation etc.
