A recent subreddit thread in r/gaming has many lamenting the loss of game manuals.
The thread starts“The worst thing to happen in gaming is the demise of the instruction manual.” As games have moved into a more digital realm we have lost the sacred moment of opening the game case and having a browse through the instruction manual. It’s a now ancient custom where we older gamers would buy a new game and then sit in our parent’s car reading the manual to build excitement.

While many are in agreement that these manuals were a lovely inclusion, the conversation does highlight things that are much worse than this loss. Microtransactions, for example. Live service titles, asset flips, and digital sales that could be removed from online services are also high on the list of things that upset gamers.
