Gaming is definitely not dying it is a huge market. I don't agree with the direction it's heading though. But there are enough games released to keep my interest.

Because of it I said "gaming as it used to be."

I think people are less excited for new games than it used to be.

I expect all games to be bad by default now and don't let myself get hyped up at all anymore. I waited on the edge of my seat since before the first teasers for CP2077 and still haven't bothered to play it. I backed Star Citizen in 2013 lol... Was disappointed by Fallout 4 and 76 too, as a huge Fallout fan. I don't remember the last game that legitimately lived up to my hopes and expectations. Fallout New Vegas I guess.

I loved Fallout 4…once there were enough mods to fix everything that's wrong with the vanilla game.

Which is par for the course with Bethesda. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I played it on release. Been trying it again lately with mods and it seems much more polished. The writing quality is still a pretty big disappointment, and the yes/yes/yes/no chat system.

Sadly, mods can and do remove the horrid dialog wheel thing, but they can't add more interesting dialog options.
