I was just thinking about how shitty video games are but yet there's so many out there more than ever. Just a sea of shitty video games.
I came to the conclusion it's because of all the upper class families sending their kids to college who wanted to make video games. and so now we have all these shit video games made by dumbass kids who went to college.
i feel like they're an overrated medium, the novelty of interactive entertainment wears off fast.

I think it’s a two part problem, we now have tons more companies wanting to make games because the overhead is so low and the profit potential is so high, even if the game is garbage (especially so if it’s just a clone of a different game, which removes almost all of the development work). Meanwhile the labor pool is full of people like the ones you mentioned who are willing to work for practically nothing. Put together, the result is an endless stream of cheap, poorly-produced crap.
Video games can tell stories and provide sensory experiences in ways that other media can’t, but most games don’t take advantage of this because the majority of the consumer base doesn’t give a fuck and is more than willing to just play whatever repetitive dopamine feedback loop is currently in vogue
