        I mean fair but at the same time if I only played fps games then that’s all gaming is to me.

        So saying “gaming is dead” would apply since those are the only games I play.

        This is a hypothetical btw I play more than fps and agree some companies are still producing quality content but you also can’t deny that most companies have definitely lowered their quality.

          Newsflash: your experience is not universal. Just because you exclusively like one genre doesn’t make it accurate to say that that genre is gaming itself.

          I didn’t say that the Premier League was dead during the first third or fourth of last season just because my favourite team played like crap and frequently got unlucky in the few games they didn’t. Because that would have been equally ridiculous.

              You actually didn’t. You clarified that you yourself play more than one genre without backing down from your claim that a hypothetical someone only playing fps would be justified in saying that gaming is dead just because their own favorite genre is.

          And we all know if One game in One genre isn’t on One console then gaming as a whole, the entire industry and hobby, is dead.

          RIP in pieces Gaming.
