And it's getting more and more insane like you get a GPU with 12GB VRAM and thousands of stream processors for thousands of euros to play a game...

And all they produce is frenetic shooters or dark pattern games.

It's not even credible anyore, make a Red Alert with a new story (so some video + 12-20 maps) every now and then and it would be an immediate success. Make a good slow RPG that's not based on hitboxes and that has a good story with say 40 side lines, believe it or not, instant success.

Or so I believe 😁

But no, let's make videogames like they make marvel, without soul or depth, but with lots of stylish effects... kids love it, or so I have heard (after having it shoved down their throats day in and day out).
