Modern Gaming feels like a chore compared to older games. It isn't just nostalgia. Most games are designed to waste your time for maximum player engagement. ...
I really don’t understand where this sentiment of games feeling like a “chore” is now suddenly applicable to ONLY modern gaming. Let’s not sit around and pretend that a sizable chunk of older games weren’t insane clusterfuck monotonous slogfests either. This is NOT a “modern gaming” trope, insanely grindy and tedious games have been around since video games were a thing.
