In fairness to the complaints, there are fewer and fewer good clean pools, and they tend to be the less-and-less awesome ones.

How so? I've had no issues finding games to play that don't suck

I didn't say that there are no good games. But genres have been drowned in these microtransaction games enough that it has become disruptive. I find myself sometimes playing games that are in many ways inferior to older games because they are trying to be low-budget disruptors in a market where the high budgets are largely "filled with urine" as it were.

Look at a few companies' recent "people are just going to have to get used to subscriptions/microtransactions" attitudes. It's going the same way television has gone. One cannot pretend in good faith overall quality in entertainment is not going down for reasons that the decisionmakers know to be hurting the products.
