Damn it man. FF 7 was dominating but this site flourished with that FF 7 legendary FAQ Guide and well most people that came to this site were fans of FF 7 obviously.

Also I don't accept this games were simpler and costs were lower back then. Games are more complicated sure BUT they earn a TON more money because of DLC/microtransactions. Now when a game makes like 500.000.000 earnings we say well it is a good game and that makes sense. Imagine saying this like 20 years ago.

Also I prefer to play sequels and such faster. What I mean for example is Elder Scrolls 5 came out around 10 years ago. And we still have no info when the sequel will come out. And the series is extremely succesfull too! And don't tell me people like to wait 10 years to play a sequel! Everyone wants to play as soon as possible.

Also a COD game and Borderlands game won GOTY? Damn.

Not every game makes $500 million... Think of flops like Fallout 76, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Anthem, The Avengers etc. Those games likely costed their publishers tens of millions of dollars and lots of companies don't have that much cash to gamble. Some like Konami more or less called it quits on AAA games and only release annualized sports/party games with more consistent returns.
