Gamers REJECT modern gaming. Old titles DOMINATE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWKgNNzXNxQ

So the top PC titles that were most-played last year are over 9 years old. Consoles tell a similar story, with the top titles being about 7 years old.

Why have most modern titles crashed and burned?

because every modern game decides it wants to push graphics to the limit as far as they can instead of developing a good game lol

It's because new games push woke, they have microtransactions, and they're overpriced. Also, they come out buggy and unplayable. Unless it's a Nintendo exclusive, I wouldn't bother buying most on release.

Pretty much.

A lot of modern games either suffer from that, try to appeal to as many people as possible, or are released with barely any bugs patched.

whats a woke game? i think you heard a word and like to say it.
When a woman looks too sexy in a game, that it's not realistic enough.

70 to buy the standard edition, 100 to bu the ultimate edition and that's in US, UK, and Western Europe.

In some places, a new game is $150.

im not sure because i dont know what it means, can you explain it for me or no?
It means making something fit a certain agenda that specific people want.

Old games > from an era where your game needed to be good to succeed, production costs were manageable, and recent trends gave way to experimentation.

New games > from an era where monetization is needed to keep the company afloat due to high production costs, game design has been refined to be formulaic, and player retention is prioritized over quality.

Allow me to use an analogy from the simpsons

The Itchy & Scratchy Show attempts to regain lost viewers.

Lisa explains that the itchy and scratchy characters have lost their impact on audiences after being on the air for so long.

Meyers decides that the cartoon needs a new character: Poochie, a dog with an "attitude" who surfs, raps, and plays electric guitar. At Bart and Lisa's suggestion, Homer auditions for Poochie's voice and gets the part.

However, the cartoon largely consists of Poochie showing off [devs flexing graphics with glitchy slop gameplay]

"Worst episode ever" - Comic Book Guy
Nobody likes Poochie nor itchy and scratchy anymore so the studio reverts back to old itchy and scratchy. [Gamers REJECT modern gaming. Old titles DOMINATE.]

and what is the agenda? you didnt really explain anything
Making video game characters look realistic even when it doesn't matter. The woke and ESG ratings shouldn't decide what people in a game look like. It's against artistic expression.

He repeats the same catchphrases and sound bytes he has heard from the anti-woke grifters.
