/v/ the Musical - Strange Deja /v/u

An open-world adventure
Ambitious devs surrender
Suits force season passes
And market to the masses again

Every time they make new games
Different but always the same
Another crafting system
Smart tech, but no real wisdom

At E3,
An expensive promotion
I just sigh,
Cycling through all the motions

There's a booth on the show floor
Familiar concepts, such a bore
There's a rugged bearded man
Wandering a barren wasteland

There's Ubisoft at it again
And Bethesda’s leading men
There's no hope for a change now
RockStar brings in a wild crowd
Dear god, can’t you just show how it plays?

On the stage
I see pre-rendered bullshots there
Blind fanboys engage
I just can’t take it
Anymore

On /v/ I've been searching for it
A new game that's worth my money
On /v/ I've been searching for
A game I’d truly enjoy
On my PC

I just can't help myself
I feel like the industry just needs to burn
Games fucked by Denuvo
Skyrim and FarCry types are all they know

Back to the board again
Shills flocking to post their threads
Mediocre slop gets made
A future blander than bread

Why can’t they make a game
Worth the admission we paid?
I've played this concept before
Copycats shouldn’t be praised

Every game looks familiar
They’re all just following trends
Companies once tried new IPs
Now it's all creative dead-ends

I'm still searching but I don't know what for
Something new with content to explore

On /v/ I am searching for it
A game with no bullshit attached
On /v/ I am searching for it
A game that I’ve never played
Perfect for me

I just can't help myself
I feel like the indie scene’s my only chance
Breaks my heart just to see
An industry I loved abandon me

I just can't help myself
Games made for morons with money to burn
Sad truth, we’re all getting screwed
A lootbox grind
I blame this all on (You)
