The end of gaming?

Publishers really pushed it this year, and for once people weren't having it. It seems like there's so much negative shit, because there is.

That is true, when it comes to Madden - Although if he likes Arcade type football games there is Mutant League Football which is actually fun to play

My buddy recently bought a ps4 for RDR2. He's not really a "gamer" though he likes pubg and cs go on pc. Anyway he was telling me that he needed to get a racing game and footbal game and he'd probably get Madden. I was about to open my mouth and tell him about how shit EA and 2k are, then realized that not only would he not give a fuck and think I was a dick, but that he didn't really have any options. It made me feel instantly sad and powerless.

I would agree with this - have a balanced channel

From what I've seen many of the "doom and gloom" youtubers are also tiring of this trend. Jeremy and ItsaGundum have both stated they're tired of the shit storm because it seems never ending. It's hard to ignore when these companies fuck up. Plus more people tend to watch negative videos than positive ones. Jim Sterling once posited that people complain that his videos are too negative and then when he makes a positive one no one would watch them. I think as long as your youtubers are making some positive videos they shouldn't be faulted.

It's mainly the big companies which have been getting bad press lately. Or rather bad press on YouTube... I think more and more people are catching on to the shill media and are starting to view YouTube personalities talking their heart as more truthful. At least that's where I am at.

....or is it the fact that only the Bad games are getting the attention of Youtubers and others because that's what gets the clicks?

Bingo!

It's a sad fact that negative news and rants get way more clicks on YouTube, and that means more revenue for content creators.

I have no issues with pointing out crap games but also have content promoting Good or Decent games that get over shadowed.

I don't know what circles you are moving in that you are getting this kind of vibe but from my personal opinion there have always been good and bad games... gaming went mainstream in newer generations so maybe that is why you hear more about bad stuff since that is how "news" work. Good games are good and do not really need any attention... we all know which games those are. If you want to change your doom and gloom perspective stop watching the doom and gloom news.

A lot of these are questions i am asking fellow Gamers of their opinions and thoughts for conversation purpose. I am well aware i have the ability to not watch negative content which is what i do, but i was talking about the Youtube feed that seems to be filled with the above mentioned and now talks of a gaming crash.

And no there are plenty of Good games that do not get any attention because of the fact that there are just to many games out there.

Bad publicity won't be the end of gaming. But I have no clue how to make normies aware that some games are just not worth the money. I really dislike that there is no quality control for games, resulting in mobile game type of crud appearing in AAA titles because cashgrab is fun for the whole family!
