Whenever someone asks why do modern video games suck just show them this.
You know what we really need? A breakdown of all the people who spent money on these video games based on sex, race, age and nationality. I want to know who exactly is fucking us over. Is it the Indians? The White simps? The 12 boys? The White women? The teenage girls? Maybe it's just the Chinese and we don't even know it.
Gambling disguised as gaming is nothing new. In fact, that’s how gambling originally infiltrated the mainstream - by pretending that it was gaming. Absence of proper regulation has allowed gambling platforms to masquerade as “video games”, so of course the most profitable “video games” are gambling platforms.
In other words: we are dealing with a deliberate and malicious category error.
Even arcade machines in the 80's were deliberately difficult so you'd have to insert more quarters to get your name in the high score. Arcade machines are literally programmable by prize win %.
