Gaming is Dying, and HYPE is Killing it

Elden Ring is releasing next month, so I think we should talk about hype. Getting excited for new video game releases used to be really fun, until AAA publishers started spending 100 million dollars on marketing instead of making good games. Over the past 10 years, countless disappointments have released. While I still have faith in From Software, I used to say the same about CD Projekt Red, and, well...you know the rest.
