I see a whole new generation of gamers who have grown up on these new games that they think are perfect, who didn't see the decades of toil and crap that we did growing up. They expect everything to be the most amazing game they've ever seen, not understanding that perfect games are in fact, exceedingly rare. That most games have bad mechanics, quirks, boring areas, and things we put up with. But younger folks just stamp it as a "bad game" and refuse to see the nuance.

Things like games are a spectrum. There's only 3ish games I mark as perfect. Most will have some things wrong with them. If you don't like that, then just be content with maybe one perfect game a decade.
