The ICQ uh-oh is my text alert message. Has been for years. No one recognizes it anymore.
I only use it to play games with 4 other people regularly and another 2-3 people sporadically. When it becomes a pain to use, well move on just like we did with AOL Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Team Speak, and however many others we’ve used in the past. Something else will come along. It works great for now, but we aren’t loyal to it. We’re loyal to playing online with each other. I would honestly pay $5 a month for a decent program, should no free one be available, but I’m already cutting out multiple streaming services, satellite radio, and all sorts of other shit because commercials are too annoying.
I have absolutely bought games and played them for less than 2 hours and never played them again. I’m a lot more discriminating now, but as recently as last month I bought a game because I thought I would like it. I played a couple of times but can’t get into it. I would love to have a new, fun MMO to play but there are so many that look interesting and then… bleh.
