I Love & HATE Video Games
A video essay on why I both love and hate video games. There are select games like RDR2 and BOTW that are genuinely great works of art, but the problem is that they are few and far between. Just scroll through Steam and you’ll see what I mean. Lifeless open world maps covered in icons for uninspired fetch quests are EVERYWHERE. And add on top of that the woke propaganda in every game. Forspoken and most modern Ubisoft games are prime examples. The industry is pumping out uninspired woke crap left and right, and even formerly great companies have slowly devolved into identical money-grabbing, leftist-infiltrated, soulless corporations.

Video is very well made. I'd like to chime in on text-based vs. visual game. The disinterest stems from Dopamine level. The higher the dopamine level, the less a person is inclined doing something less fun(like learning etc.).
The Dopamine poisoning that we are all subjected to via MSM, has an adverse effect on learning ability.
ADHD does not exist, but is due to children being victimized by their parents giving the children toys and movies that make a lot of noise and flashing lights. Learning a skill then becomes too boring. Since there is less areas where children can build, play and be safe, parents opt for the flashing lights.
For females the Dopamine hit is in regards to associations with males and will cause her to feel a relationship is too boring - unless she creates the drama, which will prolong the relationsship/association for her, until she decides to leave to get the next Dopamine hit.
Agree with your gaming sentiment, that the better games will come from indies or the very rare double A company.
But the distributionchains are getting more centralized=controlled. It may end up with a patreon situation soon.
First game I played was Jupiter Lander. It was a text based game on a Commodore computer. The game was on a magnetic tape cassette. Although I never played video games much because I spent most time outside.
