The Forced Gluttony of Gaming: How Gamers Are Being Crushed by Endless Stuff

from The Daily Daze · host Pacario

Gamers complain about a lot of things...the most ironic, perhaps, is having too much content. In other words--too many games releasing every week! It's a weird problem that others of a different time would have loved to share, but there's truth to the complaint. Gamers are drowning in freebies, indies, Twitch streams, and cheap DLC without a proper way to escape...or keep up. But is this "problem" really such a bad thing? Maybe, maybe not, but it wasn't always this way. Welcome to the "gamer glut."Check out Pacario's occasionally updated blog here: https://www.destructoid.com/blogs/PacarioThanks to Decktonic (www.decktonic.com) for the cover music
