Firstly I believe weaponized goats would work way better than sheep and I wouldn't mind a nice recipe next time ;)

But I only partly agree with you.... Yes gaming has changed over the past few years and yes not all of it has been for the better. Yet change is exactly why I love gaming.

I have no idea what type of games I am going to be playing in 5 years. Maybe I will be in SAO learning sword moves that would put Kirrito to shame. Maybe there will be a game where you can explore an exact replica of earth. Maybe I will have completely virtual lightsaber duels with people on the other side of the planet.

And yes there has been a lot of disappointments lately but there are a lot of great games that have recently been released. The gaming industry has also grown considerably in the past 10 years. You can now find games on almost everything and everywhere.

I don't think the end is near...I think we have barely finished the tutorial!!
