I've felt the same way for over a year now. The "gems" of this generation are nothing that can compared to the great games of past gens.
PC gaming isn't about getting to play games like quake, counter-strike, or battlefield 1942 anymore and seeing their communities flourish with the modding potential. It's only about getting a stable 60 fps on 1600p monitors and boasting "hah my multiplatforms games look so much better than they do on a 360, poor console fools".
Watching great franchises like Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, and Final Fantasy all go down the crapper with less than average sequels. Even current-gen games like mass effect and dragon age have gone down the tube with their watered down sequels.
EA inventing online passes and day one DLCs. And Activion publishing tons upon tons of sequels with little to no improvement over the next while in that process killing off franchises. Gaming has truly become just about the business for these guys.
Gaming has become too big and money-hungery for it's own good and even though I'll probably enjoy it for a long time to come, the best days are behind us (or maybe just me).
