The topic has often risen in discussions of various games, the main topic of discussion was that modern games, let's say ... just look good, but in fact “bullshit”. For me, the majority, game developers now for some reason seek to make the game more technologically advanced than, very interesting. It is difficult to find a game released after about 2005 with a more or less interesting plot. It is even more difficult to find a game in which there will be both a plot and an atmosphere, I want to note that I’m not saying that they are not there at all, they are there, but few.
But I have a question why? Why the developers do not seek to do something original, but just want to get an awesome picture? Well, for myself, until I found two options for answering this question:
1) Well, the most banal "cut the dough," because "People hawala"
2) Developers are too spoiled by technical progress.
Of course, the first option is more obvious, the way it is. But I do not exclude the second.

But I wondered more about how this situation affects the people who play it?
Walking around the forums and trekkers where various games were discussed, many began to react negatively to distributions in which old games or new games were heard, but with elegant graphics, but interesting ideas, for example, not standard controls. All such games were filled up with reproaches: “What a terrible graphics, how you can play such a G”, “Such complicated management, break your hands” and so on and so forth.
Looking at this, I came to the conclusion that playing such “popcorn” games, in which there is nothing but graphic and beautiful explosions, the next generation will forgive me for being rude and stupid. I would like to note that I speak specifically about Russia and speak specifically about the future generation, because the lion’s share of players in our country are children aged about 12 to 18 years old (These are just my personal observations).
Based on this, I believe that this is a problem and degradation has begun, because in our time of the game, this is an art that is, albeit not very much, but still influencing society.
