1. No, I do NOT want to make yet another account. 2. No, I do NOT want to be online. 3. No, I do NOT enjoy paying for additional content and lootboxes 4. No, I do NOT enjoy ads. 5. No, I do NOT care about marketing buzzwords, I just want a fleshed out story with a quiet protagonist and a villain with understandable but ultimately mistaken morals.

Games feel more like a job now. Hours of grinding. Very little pay off.
-
Smaller, more polished experiences > 120 hour open worlds with a lifeless empty world
-
They're still fun, it's just the weight of the world crushed your soul
-
I personally don't have the time anymore to dedicate 50+ hours to gaming. The indie scene is what allows me to play unique games without too much time commitment
-
I always dreamt of having a gaming pc. Now that i have it, i also have responsibilities, I just can't play games "stresslessly" the way i used to play before. It's sad.
-
We as buyers have the power. If we stop buying...we send a message. But that will never happen.
-
Its pretty simple, 1 word, immersion, all new games lack it, it is the magic sauce that makes a game good, and none of the games out there have it anymore, you dont feel like your in the world of that game, you not sucked in, lost in it. This is a major factor which has been forgotten by the gaming community as a whole.

Big companies found out how much was in it, bought out the dev teams, and hired yes men. That’s why.
-
have the same feeling for movies also, i would prefer old movies in early 2000s rather than new ones.
-
I got disillusioned with the modern game about three years ago and went to old stuff only. Eventually I ended stopping altogether and taking up an instrument.
-
I am constantly having to delete games on my 1TB PS5 due to the large file sizes and large updates as well. I literally have like 5 games on the storage
-
I think the trouble is most of these Games Directors think that they are film directors. Gameplay has vanished and instead replaced with movie cuts and screenplays.
-
This whole "over 1000 planets" thing really rubs me the wrong way, because who the hell is gonna sit there and try to fly to every planet? I would be satisfied if the game just took place in one solar system that is crafted to near perfect
-
By the time I hit the power button, a disturbing noise comes up “Are you playing video games again?”
-
Who would've thought releasing soulless cashgrabs for 3 decades could do so much harm.
-
Playing retro games I never had before (and no nostalgia) is still more fun than whatever the latest and greatest games are. There are so many great classics for only a few dollars, and not a micro transaction in sight. The goal was just to make an enjoyable good game, not to discover the most efficient way of extracting money from their consumers.
-
The problems for me are basically two: 1) I don't have much time to spend and a lot of games nowadays spend 30 minutes just telling history in cutscenes (by the end of the first cutscene I already have to stop and go on with my life). 2) I don't like to play online. I want to play alone and A LOT of games (most of them) are made for online players.

There is no story or atmosphere any more, now they are just huge open worlds with no personslity or adventure. Compare Ocarina of time to any modern AAA game.
