I don't think it's just "time to cook", pretty sure the devs having actual passion behind it also helps a lil bit.
Big corpos going just for the numbers are really good at stomping out all of that
honestly though, the game is a complete package AND it doesn't come with a bunch of fucking microtransactions/live-service/etc. etc. Gaming is the one area where I think we would all like to see our games be made the same way they were 10-15 years ago, instead of the bullshit from today.
So with more crunch and no unions? It goes both ways, it's not a monolithic culture where passage of time simply makes things worse
True, I didn't really mean it to that extreme. and yea not saying gaming industry was perfect, there was plenty to gripe about in the past. Just on average, as a whole, the industry seems worse. The one exception I think are Indie games.
