This video essay focuses on why modern videogames are so creatively bankrupt and feel so boring when compared to old school video games that we used to love back in the 2000s and further. Even after so many reboots and remasters, it doesn't seem like gaming is what it used to be and leaves so many people feeling like "i don't have fun with games anymore".

So enjoy! And please subscribe if you like it!
