Gaming became such a mainstream form of entertainment, that at this point the majority of consumers who buy games are not gamers anymore. Those ultra-casuals, consume games not because but despite being games. This type of player has never been into figuring out interesting and complex game mechanics, they in fact hate difficult and challenging games. Sadly the games industry has been focused on this type of consumer lately. However, there is a huge and vibrant indie game scene, that at this point makes better games than the big studios anyway, so all is good.
I never said the consumers who like challenging games have disappeared, just that many big game companies focus on casuals, who are the majority nowadays, so what is even your point?
I see that a bunch of people here got triggered by my initial post. I am sorry, that was never my intention and I certainly never meant to be toxic. I simply wanted to discuss the change in gamer demographics over the last decades. It seems obvious to me that video games, developing from a hobby typical for computer nerds, into a mainstream form of entertainment that almost everyone consumes on a daily basis, also changed the way games are being designed. It seems trivial and I still don understand how pointing it out could be seen as toxic. How can “Git good” with an /s for sarcasm be toxic at all, especially when considering we are not even talking about a certain game here? I apologize and offer to delete my initial comment because I see many here are taking it the wrong way, what do you think, should I delete?
Buddy, you are still toxic. “Bunch of people triggered”? “How can git gud be perceived as toxic”? You are so far up the elitist gamer mindset you don’t even realize it.
“git gud” implies “you are bad and need to do better”. Even in a “joking” matter, it makes you look like a dick. It is obvious to anyone who isn’t toxic or elitist. Just because you are surrounded by toxic people all the time, telling you “git gud” “gg ez” doesn’t mean it’s not toxic.

lmao
Sorry if that sounded weird. I am not a native speaker of the english language.
That’s why niche titles like Elden Ring or Baldurs Gates 3 totally flopped. Ah, wait…

Seems times have changed indeed, seeing an elitist gamer like this would be unheard of a few decades ago.
Git good /s
git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'Finally, someone with a sense humour :)
You are not funny, just toxic.

I honestly don’t understand why but as people here seem to perceive my posts as toxic, I will delete them to not make anyone feel bad.

Apologies, it was never my intention to come across that way.
