Most modern games are garbage though.
Always online, drm/denuvo, kernel anticheat, micro-transactions, loot boxes, using AI upscaling and framegen instead of caring about optimisation, TAA smearing...
I honestly believe AAA gaming peaked somewhere around the end of the 360/ps3 era.
I used to enjoy conspiracy theories, because I thought it would be cool if they were true.
Things like cryptids, aliens, etc...
But now all the conspiracy groups are filled with stupid right-wing science deniers.
