Why Video Games Aren't Fun Anymore: A Response

Why Video Games Aren't Fun Anymore: A Response. As of late the YouTube algorithm has been sending me videos asking the question of why gaming isn't fun anymore. I don't watch these vids, but I thought it is an interesting question to talk about because this has been a subject I have touched upon over the years. I also doubt anyone else doing these vids is going to have a similar take on the question, because what I have to say isn't all candy and roses and pure projection on it all being game developers faults. Honestly, I think much more blame rests with the players than the devs, because the devs adapt to player taste, rather than players adapting to dev taste (which can happen, but not often). In this vid I discuss lots of popular games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Overwatch, God of War Ragnarok, and a few more. And of course the relatively unpopular arcade genres (which I love). Of course there are other contributing factors I could point out and make this massive long analysis video on, but I thought it would be better to get to the heart of the issue.

I'm sure I could also rant about games as services, Dark Souls, Open world games, easy modes, difficulty, loot boxes, monitization, game pass, nostalgia, and so many more topics, but I'll save those for other vids ha.
