Investigating "Gaming is dying"

A very informative video. I do love the points he touched on the major myths or reoccurring arguments/excuses. I don't blame everything on corpos either, but they didn't do much to help. I am glad he pointed out the bullshit that and misuse of "woke/wokeness". Not to mention, diversity already existed in certain games or specific developers, like Capcom, Midway, and Sega, were already doing years ago before more publishers started jumping on the trend. I do disagree with the whole "wokeness will slow down", because as the indie and AAs prove, most normal people don't mind diversity and love to see themsevles or different walks of life around. Along with being decent or good games. Even in the AAA space, it won't be much of a slowdown.
The "just make good games" mantra we've all been guilty of at some points. Though by the mid 2010s for me at least, I already knew it takes more than "be better and make a game good". Talent, resources, training, etc.
Every era feeling like "best one/true golden age when I was a kid/teen" we've seen again and again. That's not going away anytime soon.
