Gamers have never been whinier snowflakes would be my take on the current state of gaming. The developers are exactly the same as they have ever been, it has always been about money for all but a tiny fraction of indies.

of course the slop is slop, did you somehow think that Square Enix or Rockstar would be better than Disney?

stop buying corporate drivel

start putting effort into researching what to buy/play BEFORE you spend money

gaming is fine, and anyone who says otherwise is just lazy. lazy lazy lazy who want quality without spending the time and effort on actually finding it.

Sounds like you need a different hobby. I’ve been having a blast.

Gaming has never been better. There are literally so many games out there that you never need to play anything that doesn't appeal to you. If you can't see that, gaming is either not for you, or you're looking with your eyes shut.

The problem is playing AAA slop, go indie and find those gems.

many great games if you look

Gaming is worst than the past. Now EarlyAccess ask for charity from players giving nothing back, as a AAA sell shares without give % of the company. Most games remain unfinished, others take an eternity to finish continuing earn from players charity; it's a shame. The worst thing is, some AAA companies start doing it too and all players learn to play unfinished games and spend money on charity for the poor devs. From when minecraft coming out with this idea all start doing the same and gaming wasn't so worst as nowdays and still going more worst with the time pass.

When i start gaming on year 80', doesen't exist unfinished games in the markets until minecraft.

we must vote with our hearts and pockets.
if big devs want to make trash, we give them no hope.
if they want to lie in their communities, let them drown in wasted funds.

If you think your hobby is so terrible, sounds like you need a new hobby.

Depend and what you are looking for; for example if you're looking for trash, gaming is fine.

People have different tastes.

Tell that to my backlog.

The absolute state of the entire industry has become some sick joke from cheaters ruining online gaming broken AAA titles, DEI/ESG, poor writing and bland gameplay and new titles not coming out for almost a decade, stagnant IPs and worst of all developers and publishers who couldn't care less about making art but instead care more about profits and moderating their community like dimwitted children who can't think for themselves. I just can't anymore make of this statement what you will but i needed to vent

Yeah but when that one sick move you pull off from out of nowhere comes along you won't give a crap about cheaters, DEI, poor writing, bland game play etc etc because you'll have a grin from ear to ear and you'll finally understand that playing games is fun and everything else is just codswallop.

don't buy games in EA until they come out of EA, and don't buy triple A games

my first game was pong. I had a babysitting job to earn enough money for my arcade habit. gaming is better today than it has ever been.

^ This.
The moment someone mentions "DEI" or "woke" as reasons for games not being good anymore they lose any credibility and out themselves as a whiny snowflake whose feelings got hurt because a game did not cater exclusively to them.
