Why is modern gaming failing?

what's OP doing?
>>
Try making better games maybe? Perhaps a tiny bit less focus on how much money you can squeeze from people and a little more effort towards making something fun, hmmm?

>nearly every single game in the top 20 best sellers last year were very openly woke
you can nitpick indie games that had no chance of being all successful all you want, nothing will change reality

I remember sjws seething at hogwarts legacy because jk rowling hates trannies, as for the rest only 3 of those games would I call woke, the capeshit slop, blizzdrone slop and star wars slop, but those are chewing through the good will of their fanbase, because even the reddit s-oyboy customer base is getting tired of their shit as demonstrated by flops like suicide squad

Memes aside, the problem with modern gaming is that it's a well-established niche that reached its plateau more than a decade ago and is now stagnating hard.

Every genre is dominated by its well-established juggernaut, so for a new game to break through, it has to be outstandingly unique and gimmicky to avoid being seen a yet another low-quality bootleg. Consider Concord for example - even if it had no DEI at all and was full of sexy waifus, I would still have little interest in it because it's just another not-Overwatch and if I want to I can just go and play the real thing.
Established titles at the same time face a similar problem from their past selves. I have absolutely no reason to buy Gameā„¢: The Re-Sequel: Remastered EditionĀ® which is a $130-at-launch microtransaction infested barebones hell as a service that one won't even be able to play in a year or so when I can have a vastly superior experience just launching the original game from ten+ years earlier.

that's just projecting, it's just you getting disillusioned after you started seeing the underlying principles that make up every game and now notice that every IP is just different decorations on the same foundations that you've seen a hundred times before, when gaming was new and exciting to you there were already people who felt like how you feel now, who played hundreds of games and noticed that it's all the same thing with different decorations, but in reality gaming is growing every year, it's becoming accessible to a wider range of demographics in developed countries and with wealth growing in countries that couldn't access gaming before you have billions of new consumers, the gaming market is far from hitting it's plateau, you're just jaded because you realised that there's nothing new under the sun and you're just playing the same games over and over again, the sweet baby inc mafia destroying IPs that you loved probably makes you feel bitter too so you wish gaming just died with them instead of continuing with new IPs that you don't care about

I'm suprised l4d2 still has that many players. It gets kinda boring doing co-op over and over again, but hearing coach say "do I look like a 10 foot tall bitch" is funny.

The good games have always been a few inbetween and those are also the ones the are remembered as the old good games.
It is more important to find the few gems in between, than to play every *new* *shiny* slop
