Google, YouTube, Twitch, and the Fall of Discovery-Based Gaming (Long)

the storyline of the games have been improved over time but I feel old good games are better

try the argument that path of building actually did a disservice to the game and get called an idiot here and get downvoted to invisibility on reddit.

people see games as a competition where the game is actually just one tool of many to win.

"winning", the perception of it changed with online games.

in poe that's "being competitional with no rules stated other than being nice on the threat of losing your supporter status if you don't") ok. i stop here.

An arguement promoting ignorance for the sake of isolated entertainment experience?

I mean I understand no spoilers, but to suggest that elimination of guides, reviews, videos, and streamers, for the sake of some nuanced base difficultly setting encompassing all of "gaming" is quite the leap.
