Streamers are best friends with AAA devs. Streamers encourage this crap and play innocent/hostile when called out for it. Gamers are willing participants because they’ll give them views on YT or bits on Twitch as a reward for supporting the very industry both parties bitch about.
It’s one of the reasons I don’t consider myself a gamer anymore.
Like CoD and sports games, they will sell well even if they’re shit.
Like the end of saga marvel movies they won’t release it until they are 110% confident in it’s commercial success.
Consumerism is a sign of superiority in modern gaming culture.
Is it? I guess no one I play games with is part of modern gaming culture.

Gaming is just more spread out than ever before.
In my last job at one point we had a team where everyone played games and most of us had barely even heard of the games anyone else played.
One plays fighting games, another plays the latest AAA games, I largely play small indie games.
