I remember back in the NES days, while all games had manuals, some were kind of crappy and some were awesome. Like the original Zelda game came with both a manual describing the story and also a map of most of the world and some possible hints for the beginning of the game if you needed it. All of these inserts are there to get you excited about the game and immersed in the game world. And also the games with the crappy manuals were kind of an indication that you were going to play a crappy game, because the devs didn't really care.
Now it's like none of them really care. PS4 games put in a token slip of paper that basically means nothing and Switch games don't even have that. I know all of this is to save on costs, but they've forgotten that their real job is to entertain the people playing their games. Instead they want to squeeze out every cent.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
