Depressed. Going back into lurk mode.
The video games industry as we knew it is dead. Creativity in video gaming is deemed "too risky" by investors seeking a return. If you want video games to NOT suck, you need to kick big money and all the suits out.
Good games don't need big budgets, studios, teams, timelines, or good graphics. FFS, it took way too many keyboard jockeys to make a broken pile of unpolished crap like Fallout 76. Compare it to Undertale or Minecraft which was made with a fraction of the team, budget, of everything used to churn out shit AAA games and you see the real cancer is big business.
Sadly, it might be too late to excise.
For example Minecraft has "Bad" graphics, no quests, yet is worth billions. >>>>>> Cyberpunk 2077/Fallout 76 which has good graphics but are tedious to play and both lost millions of dollars.
