I haven’t seen what you’re talking about, so I can’t even fathom what “death of gaming” could possibly mean. It’s dumb enough that music genres get declared “dead” just for being less popular than they used to be, and it seems even dumber to say it about a hobby that, as far as I understand, is more popular than its ever been.
Maybe I'm just following the wrong communities, but every time a new AAA game has a horrible launch I see the same discourse over and over of how gaming isn't what it used to be, all games suck nowadays, etc etc.
Oh, that shit has been going on for decades and is always overblown. I never consider any of those kinds of comments to be in good faith.
One if the comments under the main post is about gaming having died a decade ago and now we are just in the age of decline.
And I have no desire to take that comment seriously.
