Why has video game development stagnated?
It seems like gamedev is the bottleneck - inability to deliver many new quality video games in timely fashion what's holding current gaming industry back...
Not enough investment into tooling and methodologies?

This is why its important to have a large third party catalog and access to a lot of AAA games.

Graphicsfags becoming developers

What do you mean by video game development stagnated?
That takes too long to develop a new game or that the Switch 2 has nothing aside from Mario Kart and Bananza?

It's the same thing - Switch 2 (or any current console) has so few exclusives because it takes 10+ years to develop a good AAA game nowadays.

this.
faggot fucking companies that spend 5 years making a pretty but shit game instead of spending 2 years making an ugly but fun game.
Dev companies are so fucking bloated now that they just have to pump out absolute dogshit games that look nice (because that is easier to achieve) and play like shit (because good gameplay is harder to achieve).

Also doesn't help that casualfags have ruined every decent series of AAA games in existence by making every game "accessible"

TOTK, Bananza, and MKW and Prime 4 all took 6-8 years. They were also all Switch1 games initially so I dread to think how long the stuff made from the ground up for it is gonna take

/thread. Instead of focusing on making fun and interesting games they jerkoff over how many pores you can see on the characters skin or how their hair physics work. GRAFIX fags ruined the industry and we should have stopped at Gen 6
