I'm surprised that you're around here but don't know about the state of the industry, OP. Times have fucking changed now. Games are hardly fun anymore and are mostly a platform for (((political commentary))) from SJWs and kikes trying to turn vidyo into interactive movies. You may find the rare good game every now and then, but there's always some sort of issue attached to everything now. Hell, you came around at a particularly great time; stick around for the E3 threads, and you'll see exactly what we mean.
