I know my discerning chudbros like to blame it all on left-wing propagandists LARPing as game devs (which to their defense, they’re absolutely right), but a larger concern is honestly the total lack of innovation. Every game now is a risk-adverse been-there-done-that third or first person game with the exact same control schemes, just different reskins of enemies, environments, locations, and themes because games are so expensive now, they can’t afford losing investors for something novel if commercial success isn’t guaranteed, so why bother when zoomers buy anything anyway?
You could go the normie/commie route and blame it all on the le big bad capitalism/industrial greed, but it all again circles back to left-wing developers caring more about shoveling down their batshit lunatic ideologies down the heterosexual gamer’s throat than about creating a genuinely fun and exciting game with thoughtful storytelling. Instead, the best you can get is Marvel-tier writing.
Pull leftists out of the gaming industry, and nature will heal again.
