Video games used to be about fun.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
All the weird, off the wall, "who cares, we hope it makes money, but we're doing it anyway" feel is gone. Get a bit from the indie space, but a lot of gaming feels like "what can we put out that'll get us literally all the money?"
Sadly, almost certainly not going to happen. Maybe a "cost of doing business" fine....
