"60% of gameplay time was spend on games 6 years or older in 2023. Older TV shows dominate streaming networks as well."
So you aren't alone in your complete lack of interest in any of the new content, media, and games.
Compare the original "Fantasy General", to its 3D successor, and it's easy to see why all of the time and money that went into “improving” the original was not only wasted, but actually a step backwards.
I'll take deep complex superior gameplay over flashy graphics every time.
That's why most of the games that feature a focus on complex gameplay are now in the independent space.
Most of the games I currently play, music I listen to, and movies I watch, are ten years or older.
Convergence requires idealized caricatures, not strong characters.
"Mary Sue" cannot be less than a strong, independent, and perfect in every way (and a nigger. And a lesbian. At least lesbian curious.)
"The Magic Negro" cannot be permitted to be less than kind, wise, saintly, generous and beneficient. (IOW, all the things that real niggers are not.)
"Saint Gay" can never be less than charming, tolerant, stylish, and perfectly committed to the gay love of his life. (again, nothing like the mentally damaged, emotionally flighty, suicidal butterflies they are in r/l.)
And all of them staunch supporters of the entire liberal agenda. If they could, they'd all vote for Biden. But only because Hillary and Obama aren't running.
In media, movies and tv, the plot is always predictable, because every episode pushes an obviously forced woke 'moral' at you.
This is why you are starting to see a return to the classic pulp aesthetic, the new space opera revolution, and the return of John W. Campbell style hard science fiction, but only through smaller and more agile independent publishers and self-publication.
This foretells the doom of the gatekeepers who have betrayed our trust.
All we ever wanted was good stories. What we got was two decades of agonizingly stupid, absurd, dull, leftist dreck walking around wearing science fiction and fantasy as a skin suit.
Update: This could be interesting.

Hollywood always was kiked, but the stuff they made in the 80s is comparatively based when contrasted with the dreck they put out today.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters... If they don't ruin these IPs then people will still keep watching the old ones. And Hollywood will keep doing it.

Even got to play around with the spin-off VBS training simulator that Bohemia Interactive Simulations made.
Arma 3 has been one of my favorites since it first came out, and it just keeps getting better.
If they would just do a revamp of their code so that the game would make better use of the resouces available in current systems, I would be a happy man. Unfortunately, that remains stuck in 2001.
With 10's of thousands of mods and scenarios for ARMA 3 out there, you can literally play any style of game you want.
I still host LAN games here and play Arma 3 with my sons and friends to this day.
Maps, mods and scenarios will let you kill as many jews and niggers as you like, anywhere you like. In Arma.

I stopped playing it on Xbox because of auto aim faggots and it always seems I need to unload 50 bullets into the head of a player before they die but his God mode butty can shoot me once in the leg and drop me.

I wonder if they included indie content in that stat. Because indie stuff is where it's been at for over a decade.

I'm amazed at how they've been able to ruin video games so quickly.

Video games up until the mid '00s were mostly straightforward entertainment and works of passion from the developers. With the backlog of games I have up until sixth-gen, there's no need to ever move past it.
A good contrast of games then vs now is the Psychonaut franchise: Finally finished the first one on the OG Xbox a couple months back. It was great; clean entertainment with edgyish humor not afraid to offend anyone. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so I bought the sequel that came out a few years ago. It's a shitshow. There is a woke diversity squad that bullies the protagonist throughout the game with no repercussions, the humor is stale and afraid to offend sensibilities, so it defaults to basic jewish grossout gags. The part where I put the game down for good was toward the end, where one of the levels was a literal gay wedding. Disgusting.
