I think you’re painting with an overly large brush, but I agree with the broad strokes. A lot of big “AAA” publishers that were firing on all cylinders in the 6th and 7th gens — Ubisoft, Activision, EA, Bethesda, 2K, etc. — are mostly skippable now. Microsoft- and Sony-published games are less essential today than they were a generation ago, with prominent exceptions like Astro Bot. Rockstar Games remains a big deal, but it turns out software so infrequently.

Bethesda was already mediocre even in 7th gen, truth be told Bethesda releasing games for consoles have done irreparable damage to the quality of their RPGs,  with the last good Fallout (New Vegas) not even being developed by Bethesda itself lol 

EA... do they even have a single good game in any generation? I'm really asking because I can't think of any. I'm asking genuinely because I only remember them as developer of sports games 

As for Ubisoft, I think their early 7th gen games were important because it was an era we were still figuring out how to properly develop HD games with a large scope and scale, but from a purely gameplay perspective I've always found their games to not be that good tbh 

As for Activision they fully embraced the role of being a publisher rather than a developer. Blizzard still releasing/maintaining very good games, but they are mostly focused on live services which single player gamers hate I guess, but they are still competent in this specific market I'd say 

Dead Space
