Stop it with the rose tinted gamer glasses
Nobody wants games the way they did years ago. Gamers have voted with their wallets and decided that ai content and microtransactions are desirable and superior to "art style" or gameplay. Gamers are simply looking for their fix, and its important that developers design games to be as engaging as possible (yes that includes sbmm and ai nerfing in real time).

If you dont like it, dont buy it! But unfortunately for you, millions have already left you behind (sorry boomer!)

Games before were full of racism, homophobia, and only appealed to a white cis male audience. Its good that games are finally standing up and going against the grain. We need more studios like Halo Studios and Naughtydog. They are bravely going where other developers (probably ran by white cis men) arent willing to go. I will be preordering every AAA game I can that goes against a male dominated Hereronormative spciety, even if I dont play them. I dont mind my purchase acting as a donation to causes that I support.

I call on all other non binary/oppressed gamers to join me in supporting the new future of gaming!

This is a good point! It is important that games are made to be accessible to everyone (like healthcare but thats another argument for another day). Differently financially abled individuals and migrants also deserve a chance to sit back and relax on a FTP title!! All games should follow this business model

It's too bad all the games going woke go broke- Concord, Star Wars Outlaws, and soon AC Shadows.

WE NEED TO GO BACK BROS
There's bait, and then there's dynamiting fish.

Um actually they dont need you to succeed. Outlaws was the first AAAA game. Was ahead of its time, but will be remembered as a masterpiece

I mean, a sucker is born every day so millions sounds about right. I still have my video-collection from before the digital age so I've got that going for me which is nice.

More inclusiveness is a nice plus, I agree. If the game is fun I'll play it. I probably won't notice the more social-political nonsense going on in the background but I'll keep playing regardless.

I'll join in by eating popcorn and watching from the sidelines instead.
Bad bait, keep trying eventually you will master it.

I'm sure Dragon Age: the Veilguard will also be remembered as a masterpiece.

They don't top the charts for more than a few days then quickly fall because its new, not because its good.

Also my generation becomes less of gamers nowadays and replaced with the idiots that make up GenZ and Alpha which is used to consuming brain rot.

Unreal, two in a row!!!

"Surely its everyone else who is wrong"

News flash boomer, if these games weren't good, multibillion dollar companies wouldnt make them. They have a profit to uphold, and wouldnt risk making games that werent excellent.

Sorry that reality doesnt match your world view :)

I don't mind if it cosmetic purchases, but pay to win games need to die off
