How did Pokémon, the most successful media franchise in the world, go from making greatness, to making Scarlet and Violet? The creators know what’s happening...
As the top comment said, it’s the same with Ubisoft, Activision, etc etc.
In all honesty, the gaming community is just… rather dumb. These people will spend dozens of hours on twitter bashing these developers to hell and back, but what are the top sellers every year? FIFA. Madden. CoD. Ubisoft games. Activision games.
This community will sit here and curse these developers and gaming companies with their last dying breath, but the fact of the matter is these SAME people continue to buy the games and be content with what’s equivalent to digital slop. It’s frustrating.
I really think that normies are psychologically incapable of judging or even noticing quality. video games are just mindless entertainment they buy to not feel bored for a while, and as long as it works for that they don’t care.
An old friend of mine aptly noted that your average idiot will rate practically anything four to five stars, no matter how mediocre, as long as it was distracting enough.

And they get really mad when you criticize their AAA games with blatant flaws and corrupt practices.

I almost feel like I’m back on /r/gamingcirclejerk with this type of perspective.

Your friend is talking about a former buddy of mine.
He was incapable of critically judging any film or show he’s watched. Everything was the greatest movie he’s seen.
Here’s an example of just how bad. The new transformers, Angry Birds & Tokyo Drift were as good to him as Pulp Fiction, Toy Story & Inception.
I haven’t bought a CoD game since MW2. I’M DOING MY PART!
Given they just put out a MW2 remake(?) last year you’re either doing a great or terrible job.
I’m talking OG

You can say the same thing about people that complain about Chinese junk and yet continue to buy it.
