Aggressive marketing is killing the love for gaming. There’s nothing that can be done to off set the whales and that’s so disheartening. Games have become a part of the day to day stress with needing daily log ins for rewards or to buy an overpriced subscription to play with friends. The fact single play games dwindle down more and more everyday is why I moved to PS just so I can enjoy them with games like Spiderman

There’s a couple AAA games lately I’ve enjoyed, but yes I agree with you. Marketers are killing their own market for short term gains. The last several multiplayer games I’ve had are just as terrible as you describe.
I’ve put more hours into a 30 dollar factory game than all the AAA games over the last several years combined. Shows how just some TLC can make a great game, but marketing will only hurt it.
