Why many modern games suck now (aside corporate greed:season passes, mtx, etc.) in your opinion? (lemmings.world)

The last great modern games I've played it's RE4 remake but that mostly thanks to the ground up job done by the groundbreaking original from 2005, so I "disqualify it"

A similar phenom happened with TV, once there were hundreds of channels people started leaning heavily on nostalgia. I think it just that an overwhelming amount of options makes the whole experience more taxing on executive function and you can't help but notice the garbage you filter thought because you just have to filter through so much more of it. I guess advertising plays a hand in the levels of exposure too. It's why it felt like when you were a kid a good game just fell on your lap and now gaming being more visible than ever you still feel like when you find one it's a hidden gem among coal.

I think if you looked more or in different places you'd find more you like.
