Videogames arent changing. We are changing
As a kid i used to play all platformers on the market, now i barely touch Super mario or Crash bandicoot. As adults we are more selective and have different preferences
Greed
It will never be the same while the competitio n is acting so poorly since years ago, only one game company is trying to keep this game industry fresh with new IPs, but yet again thats a huge task for this company cause they just cant keep creating new IPs in a constant fashion , that would be very unreasonable because taking in consideration how long it takes to develope a game, in past gens(more than a decade ago) we had the big three and they receive that name because each one of them were creating awesome looking new IPs, but today that is reduced to only one company sadly.
One thing wrong is Nintendo screwing up some games with motion controls, they did it twice with Starfox on the DS and then again on the Wii U, instead of giving us a proper great game with standard controls. Then unwilling to bring back other games like Pilotwings.
Others refuse to go back to give us a new Road Rash or Desert Strike. Instead we get the same things like COD rehashed over and over and sometimes new things in between.
Then there's making some game levels too easy, hence why Mario World was dumbed down because players cried that it was too hard, so the official release was made easier.
