In what way has gaming been "ruined?" I know this conversation started about loot boxes but clearly that's not the heart of the issue here.
games releasing unfinished, games that require gigabyte sized updates on consoles just to start playing, games being removed from marketplaces that you paid for and cant play anymore, physical games practically don't exist outside of nintendo, games abundantly related to real life politics, some games that have multimillion backings are just genuinely bad, popular indie games are starting to follow the same exact formula every time etc...
for a normie its probably fine. for someone that actually enjoys games its the worst time ever
