I don't understand how there are so many youtube videos talking about how "gaming is dead" when we had so many big hits like this just this year alone
Anyone saying gaming is dead either doesn't play indie games, Baldur's Gate, or doesn't consider Nintendo to be "gaming." In either case, it's their loss. I've played so many amazing games this year.
Maybe we just want good fps games
So say fps gaming is dead, don't try to claim all gaming is dead.
I mean fair but at the same time if I only played fps games then that's all gaming is to me.
So saying "gaming is dead" would apply since those are the only games I play.
This is a hypothetical btw I play more than fps and agree some companies are still producing quality content but you also can't deny that most companies have definitely lowered their quality.
Newsflash: your experience is not universal. Just because you exclusively like one genre doesn't make it accurate to say that that genre is gaming itself.
I didn't say that the Premier League was dead during the first third or fourth of last season just because my favourite team played like crap and frequently got unlucky in the few games they didn't. Because that would have been equally ridiculous.
I know...I said that already...
You actually didn't. You clarified that you yourself play more than one genre without backing down from your claim that a hypothetical someone only playing fps would be justified in saying that gaming is dead just because their own favorite genre is.
