I played a lot of Nintendo, some genesis, then switched to full on PC games growing up. Quake I/II Doom 1-3 team fortress etc. then the next gen consoles came like PS2, Xbox, ps3, and gaming steadily has gone to shit.

By putting so many gaming devices in the households of kids who didn't know any better, the market has become so diluted with shittily made games that there's no reason for the massive companies these days to put out any quality besides the once-every-five graphics eye candy titles. What EA in particular has done has bought out the developers who used to make games for fun, then they point the legal cannons in any way they can at the competition who tries to make something for themselves. I hate consoles for this reason and the kids who play them.
