I still disagree
Because the current state of gaming, with more accessible games, is harmful to the industry . I know this might sound over the top, but this is some kind of affermative action to get more people into gaming. If we make gaming more accessible, it means more noobs, casual players, stupid people etc. I dont WANT games to be too accessible or too easy. When I lived at home and played games my father, who is a smart high educated man, didn't understand my games at all nor did he think he could ever handle the controllers. That is not a bad thing.
We gamers have always prided ourself of being smarter than the avarage person, have better reflexes and finger coordination than the avarage person. What happens to the gaming industry when it becomes more accessible? It start with games we dont play, casual games, but it will spread. I love my dad with all my heart, but he sucks at games and I would never want him to play a game I play. I don't want more bad people in the gaming world. I don't want it accessible. I want us to have this world for ourselves. People are welcome to join IF they can handle it. Mobile games require so little effort yet alone PASSION to play and mobile gamers, excuse my "ignorance" but it has to be said, ARE NOT REAL GAMERS.
I always speak out for improved technology and science. I want better healthcare and more medical research. I want technology when it comes to computer systems, software and hardware. I want technology when it comes to transportation and I think the future of cars can actually be really cool. I want the world to evolve, BUT not the gaming industry. Sure, I want a future Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.0 w/e it's called and I want cooler PC games with improved gameplay, graphis etc. But I don't want it too mainstream. I don't want mobile games to take over. I don't want this interest, OUR interest, to be shared with those who are not as passionate and dedicated as us. I want people in World of Warcraft who are ready to put in 1000+ hours, not those who can casually play it on their phone twice a week.
I like the development of smartphones and if used correctly they are useful. But people misuse them in my opinion and it's sad to see people stare at them 24/7. My sister argued it's no different than playing games 24/7 but i really think games makes us smarter, while phones make us more stupid. And even though it sound harsh, I don't want the phone-people to come here. Now, I realize people who play games also use their phones, but not at the same time.
Gosh, I should copy everyhting I wrote and organize it better, but I wrote it as I thought it up. At my masters degree in college I wrote a big paper on the future of movies, how streams etc would kill movie rental etc (one could say I predicted the end of Blockbuster). I feel like going back to school to research this for real as well. My conclusion about the movie paper was that there would be more convinient ways to watch movies with netflix etc and that people could make a lot of money on this. But that it killed the soul of movies. The feeling of going to the rental store, going in the isles, picking your movie, buying some candy there, talking to the clerk about movies etc, THAT was the heart and soul of it. That is gone now, and that is really, really sad. I predict cinemas will also end fairly soon. And going with friends to the cinemas, and eating popcorn will also be a thing of the past soon. I feel the same about gaming. The nerdy exclusivity we had was the soul of gaming. Mainstream accessible gaming will kill the heart and soul of the gaming world.
