The Lyrics
So I watched the live-action Barbie movie lately, and the part where Barbie talks to her creator was moving to say the least. But since the film was a rather self-deprecating jab at both the doll line and Mattel themselves, I thought I'd turn it into a melancholic rant about modern video games in general, e.g. with corporations pushing for cookie-cutter pay-to-win mobile games and even full-price releases succumbing to avarice.
I used to play, games for enjoyment
Used to be fun, but it frustrates now
What did I pay for?
Games that I paid for?
Paying to win, it was an ordeal
Now it's Fortnite; used to be Unreal
This trash that they make more
I would not pay for
'Cause I, I
I'd say they lack appeal
Corpos cheat and lie
I'd say they lack appeal
Them indies I'd like
Indies I'd like
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
When did it end? All the enjoyment
Lootbox and then, broken on Windows
It's not what they're meant for
Give greed a favor
'Cause I, I
I'd say they lack appeal
Corpos cheat and lie
I'd say they lack appeal
Them indies I'd like
Indies I'd like
Sad that they're not, like we remember
To give us joy; not rob our coffers
Something I'd pay for
The games I yearn for
The games I yearn for
Used to be fun, but it frustrates now
What did I pay for?
Games that I paid for?
Paying to win, it was an ordeal
Now it's Fortnite; used to be Unreal
This trash that they make more
I would not pay for
'Cause I, I
I'd say they lack appeal
Corpos cheat and lie
I'd say they lack appeal
Them indies I'd like
Indies I'd like
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
When did it end? All the enjoyment
Lootbox and then, broken on Windows
It's not what they're meant for
Give greed a favor
'Cause I, I
I'd say they lack appeal
Corpos cheat and lie
I'd say they lack appeal
Them indies I'd like
Indies I'd like
Sad that they're not, like we remember
To give us joy; not rob our coffers
Something I'd pay for
The games I yearn for
The games I yearn for
