The saddest part is: the current next-gen does nothing for gamers. Technological advances are being gobbled up by developers so they can churn out unoptimized slop cheaper.

They sell you shiny new rendering techniques whose only purpose is to hide the shortcomings of their engines. They're barely as good as what we had years ago while being much less efficient.

You're buying that fancy new graphics card so Microsoft & co don't have to spend time optimizing their games.
