Only true for certain genres, which has pretty much always been true. There does seem to be an obsession around "content"/$ with a lot of today's gamers though, that leads to a bunch of relatively vapid 100hr+ open-world games that frankly all kinda feel like the same game, but again even that is same-as-it-ever-was if you recall when everything was a DOOM clone.
I'm quite pleased that today's game market has allowed for a wide variety of small, often fairly short, games with lots of experimentation.
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoBefore everything was a DOOM clone, everything was a platformer. Before that, everything was a shmup or Galaxian/Space Invaders clone. Before that, everything was a copy of Pong. Before that, everything was pinball.

But yeah, the whole open world, survival genre has exploded. Notable, Valheim was fun, but I felt like it could use a bit more variety on content.
