Of course, there's the part where game budgets have been spiraling out of control for at least two decades which means instead of a couple of guys working on something interesting it's a room full of suits deliberating how to reduce risk and naturally there's the growing influence of Chinese companies, which are basically a front for the Chinese government. The new graduates mostly being there to fill diversity quotas of first the college and then the company doesn't help, either. Nor does the fact that Steam took the PC gaming market prisoner through their store, which gave them the ability to impose rules on games published on their platform, just like has been the case with consoles. And with all these in mind, the fairer question surely would been how it's even possible for the odd good game to still occasionally surface.

But here I am asking anyway. Why are modern games so damn awful?

Why can't they just scale back and publish cheaper to make games that runs on hardware everyone has? Why can't they tell Chinese companies to screw off and lock the diversity hires away in the basement or something. Why not just publish games in a physical format again, maybe on a SD card. I'll have you know that a 64GB SD card is only ten bucks.

Is it just me that is unhappy with everything? Does the majority actually like how things are now?
