"Hardcore gamers" = the people who had enough money and free time to have a console (or two) and buy and play all the big releases. This group is mostly white, male, decently wealthy, and reactionary (in the same way any given white petit bourg is). The people shaping the game industry range from sicko libertarian dipshits (Carmack) to sicko capitalist [redacted] (Bobby Kotick). It hasn't ever been "good" tbh.

Maybe not, but it's sometimes been not as bad. Contemporary monetization/habit-forming trickery in the game industry is refined from decades of deliberate research to make it as ruthless as possible.

Souls fans when you use anything other than level 1 naked wretch with club the way miyazaki intended
Sorry but the ds1 taught me that running away to do a cheese attack that deals half of the boss hp is the way souls is meant to be played (never fight fair)
