they should release them as freeware like arena and daggerfall

Dark Souls 1, but play it almost like you're studying for a test. Research and plan your build in advance. Go to the wiki early, often, and with wanton disregard for spoilers. Use every cheese and glitch to your advantage. If all that makes it too easy, then you can still go blind into anything else in the genre.

phil spencer explains market discipline

If I wanted a good story I'd pick up a book, I wanted to be a cyborg ninja and CP20277 let me do that.

I 100%ed it (300 hours) but the writing very much was not part of the appeal.

I would ignore Nintendo even if no one else did, they stink and their orbiters are annoying and shallow. At least the Disney adults go outside.

Off the top of my head, boosting, voting, and discussion.

Will it work offline though?
