What do you have to say about the current state of video games?

For me, I have a big issue with the lack of innovation and everything feeling like a filled out template of a video game rather than being it's own project

I'm stuck playing games that are over twenty years old, and honestly, I am pretty satisfied with it. Modern games make no effort to actually take user experience in, and the developers of these modern games seem to suffer from some kind of delusion that they can make good games while not having played a video game once in their lives. They prioritize looks over function, and this is why every single modern game seems to obsess over how many gigabytes they can shove into one package as their selling point, because bigger number == better.

A decade and a half ago i would look at catalogs and almost every game in there would be interesting for different reasons. i would look at online store catalogs now and completely disregard every game except for maybe one or two. everything else is a complete trashfire that either treats it's user as a criminal or just a rehash of the same mechanics. it gotten to the point that they're afraid of making a new series or actually try to innovate, that they doing shitty remasters or "remakes" which most of the time they're just blatant revisionism and make changes for "modern audiences". even re-releases of console ports, a recent example would be splinter cell pandora tomorrow -which they not only didn't fix any of the bugs they also force their users to sign up to their shitty client for a fucking single player game-
I would go on but those are high points, they're either making a new series with absolutely nothing of note or they rehash old titles whether in ports, remasters remakes, it's a capitalist perversion that attempts to try revive the dead for a few bucks.
