Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

  • lack of risk taking by the industry
  • lack of creativity
  • industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
  • removal of split screen
  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
  • disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

Nope no edits on that one! I don't think Lemmy has the 3 minute grace period on edits like Reddit either, so it would have an edited indicator on it.

Regardless, I wouldn't say that was an issue for me, I guess it's an issue for the console manufacturers as I assume the point of paying publishers for console exclusives is to attempt to shift more hardware and if I'm representative of any demographic that's not good for them.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
