@cidoku You probably just don't get why some people enjoy games. Breath of the Wild is one of the best games I've played, despite all its flaws. The field of games still has so much untapped potential, it's just that most modern companies aren't tapping into that.

@cidoku Arcade games offer extremely low freedom, which is why I tend to not enjoy them. I enjoy games that let me explore and experience unique things.
That's what I mean by "You don't get why some people enjoy games"
Everybody has a different kind of preference, and you can still find plenty of arcade games by smaller developers.

@cidoku Yeah, it's similar to how I don't get why some people are so into music. If I come across songs I enjoy I'll save them, and for a musician I really like I'll look for other stuff they made. But I never really wanted to explore the potential of music as a medium. I don't really care about the boundaries of it. I really do for games, and to a slightly lesser extent for anime and manga.
It's okay to have a passing interest in something, or to not like what the mainstream is. The people who want to explore a medium to its fullest extent are the vast minority in anything, and you can't really be that way for everything. So people just focus on what resonates with them the most and stay with that comfort zone.

@cidoku There ARE many changes, they may not be improvements to you but it is exploration. Since 2010 there has been rogue-like games, MOBAs, battle royales, survival games, etc. You may not like those genres, and I'm not the biggest fan of them, but it they can be made into things you enjoy with enough creativity.
Different styles of storytelling, with games like The Witcher 3 being a very good example in my opinion.
The most promising area I'm still looking forward to is integration with cryptocurrencies and NFTs, which is what I've been looking into with Axie Infinity mostly.
You need to look beyond the most mediocre "popular" stuff. If people only looked at the top 100 most popular music of the last decade they would say that the medium is soulless and awful as well, but that doesn't tell the whole story.
