Here’s the thing. In 2013, two particular games — GTA V and The Last of Us — brought video games into what you could call the normie world. From that moment on, everyone knew those titles; the classic high school quarterback, the popular guy, would also play them, because they were cool. But the real story is different. From the nineties through the 2000s — especially between ’99 and 2013 — video games were made by a different kind of people: programmers, designers, and artists who came from subcultures. Punk kids, goths, rockers, hip-hop fans, nu metal kids, and nerds — all of them got together to create games, not for the mainstream world, but out of pure creativity and passion. When GTA V and The Last of Us hit the market, they broke that mold. Games started being made for the general audience; they became products for everyone. And with that shift, a lot of the epicness, the soul, and that underground edge that once defined them, simply disappeared. Today, there are still a few games that keep that spirit alive — Devil May Cry, Elden Ring, and a few other Japanese titles. But if you’re looking for a triple-A game with that raw, rebellious, dark aesthetic… you’ll probably never find it again.

it's all the last of us' fault

Gaming became more mainstream in the later 2010s, so they started to cater to everyone sadly. 2000s emo era was once in a lifetime

when metalcore replaced nu metal

WOKE-ness killed everything

Vincent Shinra ˚₊‧⁺⋆♱ :

Why is there so many homophobic, racist, sexist people in this comment section they are acting like video games haven't had 'woke' ideals in them and that's it's women to blame for video changing? When that's clearly not the case

G̶U̶T̶Z̶ :

Exactly why nightreingn is the goat

𒌐 JADE 𒌐 :

Because major game titles began focusing more on PR rather than adding any soul to games. It only matters how many micro transactions/dlc you can buy and only giving you a skeleton of a game to work with.

valy0o7 :

Because people care more about graphics than gameplay these days

ryanmoir96 :

Everyone talking about wokeness being the reason have no clue that the real reason was because everyone was getting tired of it. So by the 2010s, they started changing games up, and then companies overdid it, like they did with these games. Now people want it back. There were obviously other reasons as well, but literally look at any old game reviews from the early 2010s and what people thought of those kinds of games, especially if the game wasn’t that good. If the game was good, it wasn’t focused on as much, but it was still present.

when gaming stopped being a boys club and activists realized gaming us gonna be the most profitable medium and they need to subvert it, not just movies or tv

Knight :

Because there was once a time video games weren’t mainstream

Sergej Dragutinović :

unreal engine 3 was the goat

ScriptPolaris :

I actually think it’s because of newer hardware. Where game companies are more focused on making games more realistic resembling, rather than giving each game their own unique style.
