To be honest, I am tired of video games, not because of the "I'm an adult" but because the business behind video games and what it has become just... *exhale*
I'm tired to see the last generic FPS or football game been sold millions with "hey buy our 40 euros/dollar Messi or i don't know who player ON TOP of the 70 bucks you allready put on" or "hey buy our latest console... well... BUY is a great word, just buy the rights to use as WE want you to use it and if we want it, we block you...
The last game I really enjoyed playing was BG3; now, I don't really play. Sometimes FF14 because I love the story and the gameplay... but that's it.
But I'm tired...
After more than 30 years of gaming, I'm tired of games... And to be honest, it's partially our fault.
I keep seeing this sentiment. Nothing is really preventing us from playing old games, no? Absolutely do boycott and avoid shitty practice of current day gaming. But you can always go back and play what you liked 10 years ago. Like I mostly buy 2-3 new games (and 100% all of them) each year nowadays, and most of my time is spent on games that I didn't get to play when I was younger, or replaying games that I played.
Can't really deny the "our fault" part, though what I have more in mind is us letting the tourists in 15 years ago and gaming going all woke and shit in the past few years. I still have strong faith in the indie/doujin scene though.
