So the boomer mindset but about video games. Great.

This take is so exhausting. Especially when they act like this is a universal issue. It isn’t. Not everyone shares the same opinion.

This is the exact same bullshit as “Kids music these days is garbage” or “TV isn’t as good as it used to be” but about video games.

Is it though? I highly doubt someone with the “music bad” take would give any examples of things done right let alone newer names (even in the disliked genre) and explain potential production-level problems (beyond surface-level reactions to content/people). They even say that indie games are not as prone to said issues, or that adulthood might play a part. And it’s probably less of a universal issue and more of a “why are there so many multi-million-dollar-games that are over-hyped?” much like how box-office movies are often huge-budget “safe” IPs that are more spectacle than substance.

So I’d say it’s more nuanced than the title/thumbnail may lead you to believe.
