I agree to a point. Getting older has changed how i interact with games and what i am looking for.
I went from “i want something to hold my attention for a long night or seven” to “i want something that i can engage with while watching a video” or “i want something i can play in short bursts because i only have about an hour to play”.
And yes, the enthusiasm isn’t the same any more. I played Expedition 33 recently and while i liked it i’ve been sitting in the last bit for weeks no without touching the game.
Some things still grab me. I prolonged my studies by a semester (which is not expensive to do here) because i wanted to play through Baldurs Gate 3 before the kids are born.
Alh of that said, i still see how the industrie is beeing sett down the same path that took movies from us: more of uhe same, no risks, looks over substance. If not for Indie devs i’d likly moved on from gaming by now.
