    This has always been true, since the very first decade of video games. People just forget because only the good games are worth remembering.

      As is the case with all media. Nobody remembers Populous or Bill Lambeer’s Combat Basketball on the SNES cuz they were horrible games, but I still hear about Zelda: ALTTP and Super Mario World.

      Yes for example the video game crash of 1983 that saw video game sales drop by about 97% in 2 years because the market got flooded with crap.

      Atari even tried to make an E.T game that was supposed to be a console seller but was programmed in 6 weeks and was hot garbage.

        And we’re looking at a similar collapse for at least AAA vendors because they’re flooding the market with half-baked crap.
