Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8
In summary
- lack of risk taking by the industry
- lack of creativity
- industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
- removal of split screen
- outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
- disabled voice communication by default
For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?
Nope no edits on that one! I don’t think Lemmy has the 3 minute grace period on edits like Reddit either, so it would have an edited indicator on it.
Regardless, I wouldn’t say that was an issue for me, I guess it’s an issue for the console manufacturers as I assume the point of paying publishers for console exclusives is to attempt to shift more hardware and if I’m representative of any demographic that’s not good for them.
