Not a “give up” option, but the first time I remember a prompt of “you seem to be having trouble here, do you want to lower the difficulty?” was in the original God of War from 2005.

Actually it’s pretty common. Especially for games with rankings. I’d rather just push through to the end but a lot of people would rather end the game early and start a new one then drag it on if they know they are gonna lose.

The surrender option has been in a lot of games since absolutely forever, what are you on about.
Especially true for RTS games where matches are 99% won by the other player surrendering after an overwhelming amount of disadvantage, no one waits around for the real wincondition.

Back in my day, someone would just DM me and tell me I suck and should quit. One time I came back and beat one of those assholes. Very satisfying.

Only thing I’ve seen like that was in GTAV. So it’s been since, at least, 2013.

Sorry. Homey don’t play that.

When you’re 36-0 on the first quarter, the game gives you an out and saves the opponent the rest of the game to play against someone who can challenge them.

Bashing your head against a wall to beat something that is clearly outside of your skill range *in a video game being played for fun* is just sad.
Everything should have a concede option. I’m not here to become the best player in the world I’m here to enjoy myself, and when that’s not happening I’d like to be taken to a match where I can, thanks.

The “Give Up” button has always been there. It just used to be called the “Power Off and Put a Different Game in the Console” button.

Just messing with you, but I remember God of war on the PS2 would ask if you want to switch to an easier difficulty if you died too many times in the same spot

The oldest game I can think of off the top of my head is chess, and chess grandmasters resign all the time when in overwhelmingly disadvantageous games. Its not a matter of “giving up because you are a bit behind” but simply not spending the extra time playing out a games that are clearly decided. If you’re down 36 in the first quarter your path to victory is essentially hoping the opponent disconnects. You’re the coughing baby in the hydrogen bomb meme, the game is just asking if you would like to avoid another 3 quarters of punishment. All you have to do is say no and move on.

Well if they’re going to discourage players from continuing games where they’re getting their ads kicked, why even make the Jets a playable option?
