StingingVelvet: 1) Mainstreaming - Games are getting more and more like movies, corporation-based and advertisement budgets larger than game development budgets, as well as games designed by executives who never play them. Everything is made easier, simpler and less involving.
StingingVelvet: 3) Console dominance prevents PC games from advancing - Self explanatory, graphics and gameplay hit a wall and don't progress until the next console comes... more obvious this generation because of massive console dominance. Console games even more dumbed down, and those simple games ported over unchanged.
I totally agree. Both of these things are likely contributing factors to the older generation of gamers flocking to GOG. I know they are a major reason I'm here. There's little of interest to me in the current generation of games.
