Eh to point I disagree, I think so many of us we age that little kid in us gets so buried with every day stress of life we forget to enjoy games. We have full time jobs at work and if you a family that’s another full time job. So when we have a just a little free time. We’re so mentally exhausted from all that we can’t enjoy many things that we all used to enjoy as kids

I second your comment. While yes, there are predatory mechanics in a few games (usually f2p titles from what I've seen), that is certainly not the case for the majority of games that are released these days. And I have to say, at least for the games that I've been playing recently, the devs tend to make adjustments if the outcry is large enough. No Man's Sky, Halo Infinite, and WoW are all good examples of devs listening and making proper adjustments to their games so that players are happy as opposed to treating us like cash cows. 

 But I think we need to also be realistic and realize that at the end of the day they are all still companies, of course their ultimate goal is to make money. There really aren't any exceptions to that imo. It's up to us as consumers to figure out for ourselves what titles are worth spending money on.
