You can pinpoint the second when gaming slid into irreversible decline with the release of Oblivion with Guns.
I think its fate was sealed maybe by Horse Armour and Oblivion as well, a lot of things contributed, the rise of always online games in the 90s(SSI Neverwinter Nights), but Fallout 3 is definitely emblematic lol
Oh this is just me shitting on FO3. My real answer would be the release of Halo 1, which saved the Xbox, doomed the Dreamcast, brought em-dollar sign to gaming, and marked the migration of dudebros into gaming.
Noooooooo Combat Evolved my beloved :(
I think gaming was always a dudebro hobby though, sure Microsoft's irritating marketing made it worse, but stuff like Interplay's terrible 1999 advertising goes to show it was already that way for a long time. The launch Saturn ad with the screencaps covering the lady's bits?
