What are you opinions on video games - more specifically what has come to be known as eSports.

I grew up playing some video games and I always felt they were very close to art, but near the end of 2010 I feel like the medium was suddenly a cash cow. And art was less the point as was serial releases with ever increasing DLC and faster release times but with less content.

Then mobile dominated the discussion for a while and loot boxes showed up.....

I now see subscribe to play becoming more fashionable and less and less on the front of ownership...

They heavily attacked the after markets when they went towards online subscription and DLC models.... But now....it's like they are destroying the market.

All popular games also seem way less innovative than anything I was playing. Battlefield back on the PS2 was the same gameplay but with no pay to play bs....

What are your thoughts. Is this just the way things go...or has something happened to the art form?
