This.
It's not our fault, it's the way the world works, the younger generations don't want to copy the same sh*t their predecessors did. Because it's "not cool enough".
So they end up playing easier simple games with no depth like Rocket League, PUBG, Fortnite etc.

I really want to know how gaming got so bad.
Today it sucks. SUCKS!
I'm a life-long gamer and these days there's hardly anything good released. Steam is full of shovelware trash and even the "triple A" games that come out end up sucking balls. The only party that seems to consistently come out with decent games is Nintendo and their platforms, but even Nintendo is slipping a bit. (Breath of the Wild was kinda shit if you ask me.)
IMO Worms is one of the most interesting gaming concepts I've ever come across and for the life of me I cannot figure out why it isn't more popular. I am becoming really disenfranchised with gaming in general because I haven't found ONE single game in a very long time that I consider to be stellar - at least a multiplayer game. All of the MP stuff I come across seems like it MIGHT hold promise at first but I quickly find out it sucks dicks like everything else. At this point I am starting to consider whether gaming is really getting worse or if maybe it is simply losing its appeal as I get older.

1 major reason they don't make good games anymore, if they made a game so good everyone only ever wanted to play that, then they wouldn't make any more money in future, so they make games that are really addictive, for a short period of time.
Don't get me started on DLC.
You used to be able to buy a game, and that was it, they couldn't change it, update it, add sh*t etc, those were the greatest days of gaming there will ever be.
Only single player i've ridiculously enjoyed in the past 5-10 years is Borderlands 2, everything else i've played and enjoyed has been multiplayer, right now I am addicted to Warthunder, just love flying planes and dogfights, and it's very historically accurate, and if you are into World War stuff, it's awesome.
Can't deny it gets frustrating grinding out plane modifications and higher tier planes, but when you get a vehicle spaded, it's pretty awesome!

I dunno, I am still having as much fun with gaming as I used to, and I am literally gaming as much as I can. Like 6+ hours a day. I agree that W:A was a very great time but honestly I like that it's done, it's a great if not the best memory in gaming for me and I will visit this forum as "tribute" to see it's final days. I want to salute to W:A when the server eventually will be shut down and just smile and remember it as part of my youth. I will remember some W:A nicknames of users long forgotten by everyone until the day I die.
I played WarThunder for like a year, and also quite a lot of World of Tanks on steam. It's a fun game but I get annoyed by my teams quite fast and thus can't really enjoy it fully for prolonged time. Need breaks in such games. xD
Currently enjoying the WoW expansion and have subbed to it for 6 months. MH: World I have put on hold because there is no G Rank and the endgame is not really there without G-Rank. I hope they will expand on MH: World to become the full experience that I have enjoyed on 3DS (have 300 hours there).
So the consesus about the league is: It's dead and nothing will change that? xD

When you were growing up there was no dlc's, microtransactions, p2w systems.. There was no battle passes, rocket passes.. You didn't need to grind 300 hrs just to get items you already paid for. They don't really have a need for "future money" and next titles. Read a bit about DayZ devs.
After playing all those classics that were pillars of gaming industry, ofc you'll hardly be satisfied with anything new.
That's why developers don't aim for 30+yr old men, but for new generations.
Everything is same as always, but expectations are much lower, so as are final products.

I'm so grateful for growing up during the best era of gaming there will ever be, seeing friends I grew up at school with playing Fortnite makes me cringe so much...
People just follow trends, it's lame as f**k!
I've played 336 hours in DayZ, that was all within about 3-4 weeks as well.
I started playing it earlier this year, then they brought out the newer patch, and I absolutely hate it, I cannot stand the new user interface, I loved it the way it was, minus the double carry bug.
I had the most awesome collection of gear and bases on the server I played on, I was basically a TISY tour guide taking people on loot runs by the end, going on hunting trips, I never even killed a single player, although I stalked so many people to make sure they played fair, could have easily got a few hundred kills if I wanted to, but personally wouldn't ruin someones fun like that.
When I get used to something, and grow to love it, and they change it, pisses me off beyond belief... Sure, improve graphics, fix bugs, but why the f**k did they have to change the user interface? And I used to love reading the little messages that popped up saying "I am thirsty", "I am hungry", "My leg is in pain" etc, just like in real life you talk to yourself in your head when you feel/need things.
Quite a few things I didn't like about the new patch, tbh, but I won't go there.
