And there's a talk going around about single-player campaigns won't come to PC, they'll be PlayStation only.

    single-player campaigns won’t come to PC

    glances at the Steam catalog

    glances at my unplayed Steam library

    laughs

    To answer OP's question, I think the place "we went wrong" was allowing ourselves to be driven by the industry hype cycle rather than enjoying the genuine quality games in the orgy of content available on every platform.

    There are more high quality games released in any given five year span than you could play in the next ten. If 90% of AAA publishers released nothing but slop for the next 20 years, you would never miss a day of gaming if you just stuck to the existing stock of bangers.

    You don't even need a particularly good computer to play the classics - your Starcrafts and emulated Super Marios and Forza racing sims. Nevermind the privately hosted MMOs that can eat up thousands of hours of playtime. Go check out FF14 or Guild Wars 2. I've got a friend who has been doing WoW for 20 years.

    If new games are slop, who cares? We are at the tale end of a Golden Age of game development. You're sitting on a treasure trove. Just don't buy the next Call of Duty game and you'll be fine.

    Well, that's not how gaming works. Those 5.7 million games installed in your laptop mean nothing. Gaming is a passion for a specific game and its further additions. For example, if I love a game called "Test Game", and then they released "Test Game 2", then "Test Game 3", I am gonna play all of them. And when "Test Game 4" comes out and I find out that I cannot play it because SONY wanted to be an @$$, all those other games installed in my computer are just useless .exe files because SONY broke my chain of story progressions and experience with a game. We don't play games to increase the count of games installed in our computer, we play games for the love of gaming and certain games feel like home for that love. Just installing any random .exe file without a meaning to increase the count of games installed and laughing at a steam library makes no sense for a gamer. Digital hording and gaming are different things.
