That the industry collectively denounces current iterations of GenAi, and just trusts in the brilliant talent of so many devs who are hungry for more!

For games to be more focused on single player story driven experiences with platforming, puzzle solving and cool characters. Fun factor is key. Fun is everything in gaming. I’m tired of souls-likes, hero shooters, live service, open world and “grounded believable relatable” son stories that seem to only relate to one small niche. I miss gaming from PS1 and PS2 eras. Give me games like those but in AAA graphics

More studios. Smaller teams. Legacy IP entrusted to capable new teams. I want more single player focused titles made by AA studios. I want those games to throw away the harsh realistic lighting engines and open world check box in favor of colorful and tight gameplay experiences.

I’d hope companies would attempt to really create experiences of substance and take creative risks rather than just follow marketing data in an attempt to chase trends and only appease shareholders. Gamers want to play good stuff, game developers want to make good stuff.

For them to create games that are actually fun & original not just based on trends & data that tells them that this is what “well enjoy”

Unless anyone under 16 is banned from the internet nothing will change. Griefing culture is rampant in online gaming, cheating is rampant in online gaming the list goes on. The woke agenda and barely literate kids will continue to destroy it completely.
