It's kind of strange. I rarely play games except a few best sellers maybe once or twice a year when I binge them (eg Horizon or Resident Evil). Because I see them so infrequently perhaps, whenever I play a new game I am astonished at the level of detail and amount of beautiful and well thought out content and feel lucky to be given such a large gift so cheaply (amortizing the hardware costs of course...). People that play more frequently I think have higher expectations because they are so tapped in they know what's new and what's old but it takes so much effort to create a novel experience that game designers have created a kind of red queen race for themselves. This isn't too say there aren't pointed critiques that can be made of the industry that mainly relate to profit seeking behavior (gambling, excessive grinding, lack of variety, etc) but it would be good if gamers could back off the intensity to these more important areas.
