>Why did games stop getting better around 2012?
Anita Sarkeesia happened, sparking #GG.
Skyrim and Minecraft were released a year prior.
Konami and many other old AAA studios wanted to stop making AAA games and switch to casual mobile shit for quicker, easier buck.
iPhone + Facebook were pushing that shit at accelerating speeds to literal normalfags.
Microtransanction and Early Access era were already starting.
