    With some of the really good games that have come out recently, I’ve learned it really isn’t just me not having interest/motivation. It is, in fact, that most games just fucking suck now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      AAA titles are mostly re-optomized towards selling you more of the game, by withholding that game’s content and reselling it for more than they would’ve gotten.

      This is partly a side effect of game value being mostly stagnant for years but also just greed in general.

      Indie games have been a huge boon for me due to that, no bullshit, just a game; a fun game.

      Literally, indie titles and games made by smaller companies (AA titles like Dishonored) have been the most fun for me to date.

        Looking at what games I’ve always liked: this has always been true. Back in the 90’s, most of the big companies now were like 4 dudes in a garage and they had passion.

        Now a lot of the names I once respected are scam artists and jackasses and a lot of the companies sold to bigger companies who then gutted them, stripped the IPs they consumed of any value, and turn greatness into shit.
