Most people that actually liked games and should be there, yes, but not the majority of people that play games now, aka normalfags on call of duty and last of us. The problem was normalfags entering the hobby and demanding trash.
Look at Zelda for example, I loved Zelda when I was a kid, it was challenging enough to make a kid struggle but not so to make it quit. It had puzzles, a linear progression, and if you got lost NPCs could handhold you and direct you. Look at Zelda now, Breath of the wild killed it, just a soulless open world sandbox, no puzzles, no temples, no nothing. Most sold Zelda of all time, normalfags that never played a single Zelda before loved it.
Look at pokemon, the first games had literal barriers that would demand you do a puzzle or go on a quest for an specific item(HM). Now? They removed all of it, you can literally walts through the entire game without a single thought, no HMs, no puzzles, no nothing. Even the psychology and themes got dumbed down for normalfags, first games had a literal graveyard, talking about death to kids, the first rival was an unredeemable asshole and the second was a criminal. Now its all colorful and your rival is a faggot, shit the enemy team in the first ones was a criminal syndicate and now its a comune with blue haired homosexuals that got bullied in school I shit you not. Even graphics and innovation, RGB was revolutionary, matter of fact every instalment until Sun and Moon was revolutionary in terms of handheld technology, and then the latest instalment is a buggy mess with PS2 graphics. Most sold of all time btw.
Its normalfags, normalfags ruined everything, we should've gatekept harder, its over. Picrel
