Blizzard was dead to me 10 years ago. Same with Bioware. Any game from these devs were gold.
Diablo 3 has never been good.
Blizzard is not capable of making a Diablo 4. It will be a hot mess.
Simulation, RTS, MMO is dead. Becasue console games only matter and these are M&K games.
To me gaming has been dead for 10+ years. Sure you can find a game here and there.
I am glade I got to play games as a kid and enjoy games for 20 years.
My gaming tombstone says.
Rip good video games
1990- 2010.
You're basically right but gaming, for the most part, died way before that. Resident Evil 4, the original World of Warcraft, and Demons Souls and Dark Souls were basically the last real games chronologically. Everything else has just been another redundant cash grab or indie trash.
Arcades died even earlier. The last true arcade game was Metal Slug 3 (2000).
The golden age of gaming was like 1989 through 1998. That was the sweet spot where technology was advanced enough to make non trivial stuff but games could still be made by a few cool people in a garage. It just got too big, and like any big business, suits were inevitably going to step in and ruin it.
