That might explain why there's so much crap coming out of the gaming industry. All the old constraints are gone, so everything now very much looks the same.
Just give yourself artificial constraints.
not really, it's more of an economic situation instead of a tech one. Indie games are doing just fine, more or less (the choose 1 of 3 fad is a pain).
The modern game industry was being run by pedophile billionaires, two of the worst adjectives you can apply to a human being. I'd say that's more of a factor than not having enough "creative constraints"
