Maybe graphical advancements have slowed down (especially since it takes half a decade to make a game now) but this feels a little disingenuous. Bottom is supposed to be Fortnite? I can see someone playing WoW or Quake or UT for 10 years since its release too.
Theres more variety in gaming today then there ever was, many more single dev games succeeding because they dont need to impress the likes of EA to publish their game thanks to the internet and free distribution. More platforms to choose from and multiplatform releases are more common.
The successes of one game are not reflective whole medium or the current state of gaming.
It's also really ignoring how much Fortnite has changed over the years. It's like saying 10 years of LoL and using the same three pictures from season 1.
Everyone who doesn't play LoL will think you're an idiot if you play ranked, that hasn't changed in 15 years
Ranked in LoL was too stressful to me. That and StarCraft 2 I could never enjoy ranked in. Idk why. Other games didn't have that same effect on me. I guess just too much shit to keep track of and it stresses me out.
