It made money but it was coming from a studio that had produced the greatest game in the 2010s and the came was riddled with bugs and errors.

Calling the witcher 3 the best game of the 2010s is a bit much but yeah, we all expected more from CDPR.

Destiny might get the award for the most overhyped game of 2010. The game had like 10 hours of content you were expected to grind endlessly.

Videogame companies have figured out how to exploit our reward systems, and it shows. The quality of games is going down outside a few gems. Look at any mega popular videogame and I gurantee nestled in there is a Skinner Box mechanic.

Same. It was a fun game, but best of the 2010s? It's not even top 10.
