In the last 5-7 years I've noticed that mobile games have devolved info always online p2w shit

What the fuck happened?

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

They're making the same argument people make about music. There's plenty of good music out there of all genres. Radio just doesn't play it and you have to go out of your way to find what you like.

That's just the wages of living in a huge postmodernist society that produces a vast amount of media. We no longer have centralized institutions (or rather they're losing relative importance) so you have to go looking through the depths of either recommendation algorithms or topical forums

I find that to be a good thing. The less centralized institutions that can control what we do the better. I say that while social media is the biggest it's ever been.
