Rather than calling it being Americanized I think what is actually happening is selling out, they are trying to gain a bigger audiance by drawing in people who before thought of games as a waste of time but now it's being turned into something that everyone can be into which means less appeal for the hardcore.
Two years in and I have a feeling this generation might give me even less physical games than the last gen which was already way less than PS2 gen for me. I don't know if it's a nostalgia thing being the reason I have so many favorite games on the SNES, PS1, PS2, and GameCube consoles but I tend to believe it's because simplicity can go a long way over ever increasing skill trees, modern graphics, and duplicate side missions. The last game that made me feel like I had to finish it was Breath of the Wild (which has flaws) but not much else since other than the occasional remaster that I finish just for the trophies which I don't even know why I even feel the need to collect trophies in games when trophies don't matter at all.
