Tbh this game industry is at it's all time worse.

Games constantly released broken. Players voice what they don't like in the masses, companies do it anyway. EA surprised Battlefield under preformed, ( they don't even have a scoreboard for multiplayer btw). Halo with a super empty world and battle pass is a money grab. Nba 2k says 87% of fans completely loved a game but it just doesn't fit what they wan't to do so won't add in future game. Call of Duty doing the same EXACT thing every year. New titles very meh. No great big hitters in there prime currently. Not creating new game Titles that would become classics like original Halo and Cod ETC. Xbox dashboard looks like www.facebook.com/xbox, like this, add that, favor this, poke that. Battle royal every where. Open world, every where, pay to play , loot boxes, live gaming, reskinned and reinserted into game. Roadmap to fix broken games, remake Call of duty but don't remake the multiplayer. Announce Kotor but force fans to wait 3 years. Completely lie to fans about Anthem, sell it and then abandon it. Horrible work environments. This is what happens when you let higher ups into the game industries and CEO's and they prioritize money over everything. Over player experience, over player feedback. Money talks players don't. I HATE I HATE I HATE. Just had to vent. Just named those games because those are very well known, trust me there is a list of terrible/meh games.

  • Disagree. Light is simply the world's best disinfectant. NONE of what is going on right now is new. We're just more aware of it because there is greater transparency because of media...and we're at a societal tipping point. People are frustrated and angry at institutions of business and government because they are seeing...increasingly...that they don't serve the needs of the average person. People are also less and less willing to tolerate the abuses that unaccountable power used to take as its RIGHT. Was having this conversation with a colleague a couple of weeks ago. I work in a profession where----just a generation ago----department heads would ROUTINELY get away with throwing on-the-job tantrums that would make a toddler red-faced with embarrassment. Shouting. Swearing. Objects being thrown.... ...and nothing was done about. it. Acting out like that was just seen as one of the perks of their power....and underlings just needed to shut up and deal with it....or go work somewhere else. The culture has changed....because the society has changed....but OH BOY, did they NOT give up that power willingly...easily...or QUIETLY. But that pendulum also swings both ways. Gamers have become entitled....as society has become entitled. Gamers want all the BENEFITS of fast internet. Cheap mass storage...and the ability to continuously update games. But they don't want any of the problems that go with it....and they don't want PAY for it. Which is just an unreasonable expectation....and when unreasonable expectations (predictably) fail to get met....people get mad. The irony is that this is the Golden Age of Gaming. I played through the remastered-for-PS5 version of Uncharted 4 this weekend. If you had told me 20 years ago that I'd be playing something like this IN MY HOME? I'd have looked at you like you had lost your mind. But when you're always focusing on what is not there, and what expectations are NOT being met.....you blind yourself to what is...and how good it all really is right now.
