Gaming is mainstream now. What this means practically is that there are a bunch of big players pushing junk, and a smaller portion making amazing, wonderful games. This is the problem of the mainstream. Video games are no longer a niche interest, so there is a lot of money. Anyhow, there are more amazing games available now than any other time in history. (especially since all the old games are still available for the most part) The problem is that per capita, modern games are quite bad. In raw numbers, though, there are more amazing games out there than ever before. Much like the rest of modern media, the challenge is in filtering out the junk. There's more choice and abundance, and much of it is of poor quality.
