Nah, it’s getting better every year. Adding crappy games doesn’t change the huge backlog of great games I have.
My response to the points:
- Don’t buy games until reviews are good - don’t buy on release day, and certainly don’t preorder
- See 1
- See 1, but replace “games” with “PC hardware”
- We probably need a law here, but until then, see 1
- This is stupid. Buy indies, they don’t pull this crap.
I would like to point out that indies do indeed pull crap, just different crap. Just look at the ocean of abandoned Early Access games for one example of it.
Just pay attention to the reputation of the developer and see if you like what they make.
Nah, I don’t care too much about their reputation, I care about reviews. If it’s good, someone will have reviewed it.
Yeah. Pretty much boils down to, “There is fewer good triple A games coming out, and less significant hardware advancements.” This doesn’t mean its getting worse, just means its getting better slower. Even if you read it as “getting worse as compared to other platforms” it doesn’t really work seeing as all these issues affect other platforms just as much, and often more.
With all the launchers, DRM clients, malware anti cheats, early access scams and what not. I think on the whole that PC gaming has gotten worse compared to 20 years ago. You can still get good experiences but it won’t be AAA. Also gaming sucks in general these days, not just PC gaming
Indie games and non-AAA games are still better than games 20 years ago that generally don’t pull all that shit. There might be some grim darkness out there, but I’m just gonna chill in the sun, because it’s definitely still there.
