I genuinely don't think gaming as a whole is dying. Triple-A is, sure, that entire model is on the way out and good riddance to it. But gaming as a whole isn't dying, it's just getting wider.
There are so, so many games that come out these days, and there's such an immense backlog of games that have built up over the decades now. Yes, there are shitty practices, but those practices are killing the studios that perpetrate them. Yes, there's too much social and IDpol shaming in certain games, but again, consumers time and again are choosing not to purchase those games. Great games come out literally every year, and to deny this is to reveal yourself as someone who likes bitching about games more than actually playing them nowadays.
The people who complain the most about how "gaming is dying" are the normoids who just want the latest Triple-A slop force fed to them. If you think there are literally NO good new games that come out, you simply don't like games anymore, so just move on and spare the rest of us your bitterness.
