Notes -
A friend and I were talking about the changing attitude about the way games are made, marketed and sold to consumers by corpos. A very interesting question was asked that I'd like to repost here:
When was the first time you saw something that made you realise "I am no longer the target audience" for something you used to love? This needn't apply to games, it can be anything you took part in and enjoyed doing but no longer do due to the thing being changed beyond your power.
When I saw Fortnite. I used to be a huge Counter Strike Source player when I was younger and then naturally moved away from the FPS genre (RTS's too) as I aged. I just really didn't see the appeal of Fortnite at all, but I realised it was me that had changed when I saw how popular it was on Twitch.
Also Star Trek Discovery after being a big Trekkie when I was younger (Deep Space 9 was peak Trek). This is probably the best example of a franchise where a small minority of creators decided that only people with their niche values are allowed to enjoy the show any more. Trek was always kind of progressive, but it really jumped the shark in recent years.
