What a great time to be a gamer, don't you think?

[Wman1996]

There are negatives to being a gamer right now.
-Lootboxes
-Games that are launched buggy or broken and hopefully fixed later
-Nintendo continuing to overcharge for their software. We're 6 and a half years into Switch and there are no Nintendo Selects.
-Paid online for the Big 3, with PS Plus now going up in price by 33%.
But there are a lot of positives...
-Nintendo hardware and software (first and third party) is better than it was during the 3DS/Wii U days, and possibly at its peak.
-Games as a whole are getting cheaper when you take inflation from the prices in the past into account and sales are so common. Even digital storefronts have a ton of sales.
-Indies have a lot of sway. Yes, there are tons of garbage and meh indies, but there is quality as well that simply wouldn't have been possible more than 10-15 years ago.
-Exclusivity is dying out, even if it's a mostly slow death. Even if you can't play Xbox or PlayStation games on the other platform sometimes, PC is an option a lot of the time.
-Games are becoming more accessible with special controllers and settings in games for difficulty, audio, visuals, etc.
