nearly impossible to actually find the few good games within the massive crush of shovelware

So exactly like gaming in the 90s and 00s? You can't have it both ways

Well that's just completely the opposite of my experience. Blizzard Entertainment, for example, was reliably putting out hit after hit after hit for many years. AAA studios used to actually hire talented people, and allow them to make the games they wanted to make, which resulted in fantastic products.
