Games are no longer made with passion

[BooQueefius]

It's so sad games are half assed unfun games that are built on greed and gambling, I refuse to pay 80$ Canadian for this and if this is the way games are going I think I'm done soon been playing games since I was 6 on GameCube now 20, I remember being so pumped for games such as halo 2-3 dragon age James bond , cod 4, gears of war and many others I remember waiting weeks for the games cause they would be sold out and my dad comming home with them I got so giddy cause I knew I'd play this game for 1-2 years non stop, now I'm generally surprised if I play games more than 10 hrs then never touch it again,

I think that's because games are just no fun anymore like they don't have the same feeling anymore , maybe that's just notalgia of couch coop halo and gears of war kicking in and countless hrs playing cod with my brothers, idk I wish I could go back to 2003-2009 gaming because although online gaming was a big part of them now it's just so popular online gaming that is that the community and the whole appeal of games is geared towards everyone and now they are very toxic, I remember playing early cods and halos where the whole loby would talk and now it's a bunch of mutes. Idk I think it's just me getting older and kinda growing out of gaming

Full release just came out. I played 60 hours in early access, I would've played more but I didn't want to spoil the story for myself too much.

Now THATS a game made with love

Sounds like you just grew out of the games
Or ignorant to good titles while focusing on gaming industry fiascos

Everything starts from a dream with heart only to be monetised and pulled apart.
Built with promise, built with hope, how cruel is reality, the last and final joke.

there always been developers that made games purely for money and din't care for the quality of their product ... there always been stuffs like terrible games based of popular movie license or clones of other populars games that never understood what made the original game popular and fun to play , it's just that we don't always remember them and tend to focus on what we liked instead.

I think a lot of people in here are mistaking "publisher" for "developer".


Publishers are indeed cold, heartless, soulless, non-gamers who wouldn't know a quality product if it jumped up and bit them on the face.

Developers are the poor people who slave away with their hearts on fire, their souls deeply invested, and their finances precariously in the balance under said publishers fierce deadlines.

Most of the games I've ever played were certainly labors of love, but I don't mean "by the publishers". I mean absolutely the development teams put everything they have into their work.

If you fall for hype trains or reviews by people paid by publishers, sure, you're going to be left a little stranded when it comes to loving care. But... play what you like, remember that real people created everything you're interacting with, everything you hear, see, the way everything animates, physics, music... ... They deserve praise.

Their overlord publishers, not so much.

I can admit a lot of game makers now adays lost the love and passion for it and are just in it for the money.

I became a mute person online myself. Reason being is I do not want to talk when a bunch of crazy people are around me. That and I feel maybe I am just getting to old to be around the average gamers now.

My favorite person to play games with is my brother. And I will join him in games if I can.

No. Plenty of developers who are in it just for a quick buck, too. Please stop spreading this myth. This is life, not Office Wars.

Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but publishers are people too. Y'know, they have names and such.

i wouldnt say a blanket statement like modern games arent made with passion, but a good number of them disappoint

baaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I can't help but feel you're stupid if you think that. The artists and developers working in studios do so because they love it as a job. They get to do what they love and get paid for it. Games are still made with love and passion. Now more than ever.

The problem is that a lot of people's good work is being ♥♥♥♥ on because of what they've been paid for to make.

There's lots of indie games that are labors of love without a greedy, consumer unfriendly publisher stepping in, which is nice.

that's debatable, i would say certain games like halo 5 have restricted passion, as it had a misleading ad campaign and has its own lootcrate system, and a lackluster story to boot

Publisher's decision.
