I've heard the issue of games being shit now (other than the political nonsense) is that the old devs that made the great games are all retiring and the new devs have a skill gap that has yet to be addressed. It makes sense when you look at the demographics. Boomers started retiring a few years ago and suddenly every job is having a hard time finding enough workers.
It's partly the boomers retiring, but that is just lifting making the problem obvious. When the greatest generation retired, no one fucking noticed because the boomers weren't incompetent. Part of the issue is the modern HR retards advising against training because "what if they leave for another company." A much bigger issue is that newer generations just are not motivated to advance their skillsets. An even bigger issue is that even if you *do* advance your skillset, the retard diversity hires whose "work" you have to fix will still make more money than you do. Worst of all, even employees who are net negative liabilities to your workplace will continue to pull larger paychecks than you despite getting nothing done.
I have worked with diversity hires who literally cannot read an excel spreadsheet. (As in, they don't understand the concept of items from column 1 and column 2 not being interchangeable.) It isn't even that there aren't some "diverse" employees who do real work; but every time someone on my team has been a liability that the management "can't do anything about", it has been a "diverse" individual. The reality is that the DEI departments would rather hire Jamal the retard than find the next Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas. They probably consider the latter two oreos.
