The first 8 minutes I was like "boy he has a good point". After letting what he said marinate in my head for a few minutes I realized that I wasted 11 minutes of my life. Because I can sum up his point in a few sentences:

His opinion was that gamers had it better in the golden age of gaming. His argument for that is lack of developing tools back 'then', necessity for developers to make games distinct from one another, and -today- developer laziness. Then he blames consumers ... wtf???

This video may seem smart at first because he discusses those points in a very articulate way. But he doesn't really support any of what he discusses, and his arguments leave a bad taste in my mouth because I really didn't learn anything new.

I didn't agree with him when he said that development tools negates the need for imagination, to me that's BS, if anything it should encourage it.

But I agree that the consumers keep demanding the same crap over and over again. Games get picked on for not being like COD/Madden etc, etc. If anything strays from the predetermined  path, they are accused of being broken.
