Since 2010 it's 95% true, and might be an understatement. Gaming is that dead and stagnant

>UE killed off in game engines for the most part
>Also killed proper perfromance in games
>Development costs caused games being more formulaic in order to be safe leading to not being creatives
>Games overall since not being creative enough aren't as good as game before
>This created a sentiment when older games have prescence in the current gen
>Lots of layoffs
>when a new game has any form of traction due the unhealthy landscape falls into hype rather than actual goodwill
>f2p cancer plaguing all platfroms
>Paid dlc and online as usual
>No options beyond digital or simply not buying
>Genres kept receeding as effect of HD developments
>Barely any new IP that sticks around
>tech advancements hit a wall in gen 8 and games didn't benefit from it like they used to
Oh and tech speculation prices to add.
