there's also the fact that video games have ballooned in budget and are so expensive to make now that nobody wants to take any risks, actually not even risks just make anything new or original.  the idea that wokeness is responsible is absurd, it's certainly another layer of enshittification but its also been a resource to get games done, get money for your games. of course that well is drying up now that the culture war has been abandoned, and i fear that literally nothing is going to improve because of it, it's maybe not gonna get worse but it'll be even more milquetoast because now developers will be told to stay away from politics all together.  also since this industry is as big as it is and since games take as long as they do, we're not even gonna see that shift for another few years
