2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Is it just me or does Gaming just not feel the same? (feddit.org)

Yes i am aware that is a Generic Title and im not trying to be all "Grrr these Modern Games are destroying us >:((((((" :P
but more so on the Side of that you now have access to all these Games for like usually a few Bucks here and there due to all the Sales on Platforms like Steam and GOG for Example :P
But it just feels like you cant decide and have too much to play and choose from X_X
and thats not really a "Oh Digital Gaming Bad" per se as i do notice it with my Physical Collection as well of course that i cannot decide what i wanna play >.>
But more so that Gaming just feels "more difficult" and also a ton more Toxic and Mean maybe? >.>
Like for example when i look at old Conventions like E3 or even Gamescom from the 2010s im like "Holy Shit look at all these Cool Games" but obviously nowadays its just "meh" really >.>
Afterall E3 is Dead and Gamescom is basically overrun by Influencers all Day >.>
But for example also Game Trailers kinda feel Weird in a Sense? >.>
Like i do not wanna bash Editors of these Trailers of course but for example i watched the Borderland 2 Trailer a few Months back and i really enjoyed it personally same with the Bioshock 2 or Super mario Galaxy Trailers for Example :P
Like i am unsure if "well structured" is the right Word as obviously modern Game Trailers are also well structured tho its just that something feels different >.>
Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don't. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don't give up.

To your point, maybe you're just getting older? There's always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you're a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited
