Death Stranding came out in 2019. Death Stranding 2 will come out in 2025. That's six years for two games. If these were the PS2 days Kojima would have cranked out 3 Death Stranding games by now and we'd be getting Death Stranding 3: Subsistence along with a teaser for Death Stranding 4 next year.

Remember when video game trilogies used be to a huge thing in the sixth and seventh generations? You'd typically get 3 games in about 5-7 years

See: Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Killzone, etc

They just keep making the game more and more tedious in the name of “realism”.

This is common theme in the games "made by players for players" because the players making this game are always hardcore minmaxers and anti-fun brigadiers, which is pretty logical since only they get so royally pissed by devs not catering to them specifically that they attempt to do better. Normal player would just leave unfun game behind and move to next one.
