There are still odd little titles out there, but I think the media focus is all on the huge franchise games. A little bit ago I got Thief Simulator for like 3 bucks or something and it's far from a perfect game, but that was part of the charm was the strange open world jank but that lead to good fun. There are a lot of weird little games lihe that, but you have to go looking for them. Terrariais another just neat game that got a boatload of content. And others are actually big franchises still going well, like Civilization 6 which is my favorite in the series so far.

This is true, but if you don't have an addictive personality there's something to be said for games that are free unless you want them to be. My mother in law is on level 4000 or something ridiculousof Candy Crush because she's been playing a bit most nights for years and never spent a dime. To me that's less insipid than Dragon's Lair looking all super cool and tempting then eating your money in 30 seconds. I don't think gaming has ever been perfect, but I think it's at least as good these days as it's ever been.
