it can be helped, it's called gatekeeping. The golden age of vidya was BEFORE it became mainstream, when the only games the succeeded were the ones that did something different or something well. And those games cost money to purchase. It's not the corpos fault for taking advantage of those who freely allow themselves to be taken advantage of, it's the weak-minded individual's willingness to be exploited "because it's cheap and has infinite games, hyuck hyuck", nevermind the quality of the games that populate it. because the quality of the game doesn't matter to these people, to them games are simply a toy, a distraction, and if they can be entertained by loud noises and flashing lights for even 15 minutes, they're happy. They are the problem, not the corpos. If you think corpos are the problem then you think retards are an acceptable and welcome member of society. They aren't and you should be mad at them for flocking to this shit. But no, instead you coddle them.

How long until it inevitably comes to this?

Replace the Chads with schizos and it's already happening

So this ended up being a nothingburger? Gaming is still fine

TL;DR pic related.

A rise in popularity meant it became more and more common that the wrong people would take notice and begin contributing. Eventually it became nothing more than a platform for people to express their creativity in the form of story, characters, etc... instead of, you know, spooky shit.
