The DECLINE of gaming is here because I said it is.
Games are getting worse. Whether it be through buggy, half-built launches, formulaic games taking over in stead of actual creativity or the onslaught of microtransactions, gaming has on the whole been declining in quality.
Make no mistake, gaming is more profitable than ever before. Games like Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty Warzone, God of War and so on may be lacking in many ways, but profits is not one of them. Even games like the new Saints Row reboot have an outstanding chance of succeeding because they are falling in line with the formula of bolting on trends instead of staying true to their fans.
What's actually declining is the quality of games as companies try to find just how little they have to do in order to get people to buy. Cutting content that used to be there day one and then selling it back to you at a premium.
At least, the shining beacon in all of this are indie games. Indie games have been cranking out many of the best games in the last decade. Games like Risk of Rain 2, Ready or Not, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program and so on show us all that it's not just us getting bored of gaming, but that these AAA game companies are bored of making the innovative ones that build their companies.
So enjoy this video on the downfall of gaming as I describe the many plights in detail with some jokes and memes along the way!
