It was gaming as a srs bsns industry that did it. Online would be okay if motherfucking retards weren't intentionally trying to attract the fucking yammering retards no sane man would ever pay for the pleasure of interacting with.

This.

The natural greed of humanity and rationality of markets killed videogames in a quantity focused production over overall quality, since there's more profit. It's in our memes

>>386246478
No, the market has blown out of proportion out if it's own good. And if it were to have an effect, it would be fairly short and temporary before the market would start expanding again and collapsing on itself.
The whole system is fucking retarded.

>>386246579
No it didn't. Underageb& and journalists perpetuating that games cannot have anything but high definition graphical assets certainly helped ruin everything though.
>>386246684

nah e sports killed gaming just like how the union killed real sports

>>386247054

Shit, video games are a parody of world war 1. Everyone thinks it's one single thing that helped ruin them when it's many, many things that did. The real question is, what broke the camel's back (assassination of Ferdinand)?

xbox live. Playing games online was pretty neat up till then. No longer, unless you're in some happily autistic pocket of the internet.

The Original Xbox and the 360 killed videogames

>popularized online gaming on consoles
>destroyed the wall that divided PC and Console gaming
>led to the dominance of western developers in the industry
>popularized console shooters
>pioneered paid console DLC

I know older consoles already did some of the aforementioned things, but Xbox made them the norm.
I still had a lot of fun with the Xbox Hueg though.

The internet did.
Multiplayer is taking over, making the single player experience less relevant. They don't focus on making a single player immersive experience anymore.

Worse yet, the internet made information travel faster, which provoked vidya being accessible to all sorts of normalfags, creating the casualization of games, the "mature games for mature gamers such as myself" and the politization of vidya which leads to making a big fuss about nothing.

It also made viable kickstarters, microtransactions and multiple DLCs you can buy from home.

Finally, the worst part about it is information. How fucking amazed would you be if one of your bros suddenly told you "dude there's a secret area with a Dragon covenant on Dark Souls, and you can become a fucking dragon!" A lot. But not anymore because the internet spoils everything for everyone. You probably already know what to do by the time you get there and even if you play without an internet guide you won't actually discover shit yourself like we used to. That's what generates genuine wonder and makes people autistically hooked to a game.

Why is Morrowind so good? Because you took your time to explore and find out all the secrets in the game. If you look at an internet guide, get 20000000x stats thanks to alchemy and break the game it will be a piece of shit with no challenge or sense of wonder.

>how come you can float on water? does gravity not work when you're swimming?
Probably my greatest mystery back then.
Now I can just google whatever I have on mind and get answer, no room for imagination

It's because there isn't any risk anymore when releasing a game.

>new game released with bugs and glitches
>day one patch will fix that

Back when the ps2 was the new thing, companies actually had to play test their game because once those disks were burned that's what you got. Any bugs would be written down in a magazine article with the headline "Top bugs in video games 1998!" Earlier release time means more money. The bugs can be settled after launch

Esports def ruined multiplayer games. I just want to play a casual game to relax but my fun is ruined by a bunch of meta dirckriding tryhards who throw tantrums at the slightest provocation. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it were contained in comp modes but the mentality seeps into casual modes as well.

There's nothing gay about fucking a passable dickgirl, though.

Online used to be an option, not the main event. I had plenty of great multiplayer experiences on my PS2. Resident Evil Outbreak, Timesplitters Future Perfect, Jak X Combat Racing, even Goldeneye Rogue Agent I had a good time with online.

But this wasn't necessary, and it certainly wasn't the focus of the console. It was something you can choose to participate in, or not. And no games on the console needed patches to unfuck themselves, and they couldn't anyway, since hard drive users were rare.

Now online multiplayer is the main event and it isn't like multiplayer back in the day. You logged on, played some rounds, then you were done. Now every multiplayer game has """progression""" to keep you playing over and over again long after you stopped giving a fuck. Buy more lootcrates, buy more exp speedups so you get to play your favorite game less (?). Get your 15th prestige just in time for the next game to come out and do it all over again. Be sure to trade in that old shit to Gamestop™ Power to the Players™ so a less fortune fuck can line Gamestops pockets twice over.

Datamining, guides and addons killed mmos.

Online gaming can be good,

however there are too many shitty games that are popular, or games that could be more popular but had idiot developers.

really it's complicated.
The thing that I typically blame/the source of some of the biggest issues was likely the original Xbox,

Xbox live gold, was a stupid idea, but people kept buying it, the extreme success of HALO and HALO 2, followed by the success of COD4+ on the 360, led to more and more developers abandoning PC as a key market
(as many of their elderly shareholders got all nervous about piracy).

there were probably a lot of other factors that had to do with this,

financial market movements,
many studios in the late 90's probably benefited in some way from the dot com bubble, and then suffered from the lack of investment capital after that popped,

the GWOT/Afghanistan+Iraq, likely boosted sales of modern war games, or created issues for games that had been popular up until then.
