10 Gaming TRENDS That NEED TO DIE in 2025

AI voices in games like The Finals sound like a GPS reading Shakespeare.

Hire real talent!

Fallout 4’s next-gen update broke mods, and PS5 Pro’s PSSR made Alan Wake 2 look worse.

Stop fixing what ain’t broken!

Logging into a game shouldn’t feel like hacking the Pentagon.

RIP 2K’s launcher—now tackle Rockstar’s GTA login gauntlet.

AAA titles play it safe, stuck in a Dark Souls-Uncharted sandwich.

Budgets ≠ creativity.

Let indie devs cook!

Adding DRM like Capcom’s Enigma to old games? You’re encouraging piracy.

Stop punishing loyal players!

Microtransactions are macro-problems. Apex Legends and Helldivers 2 charge rent for pixels.

FOMO isn’t a business model.

Ubisoft axed Prince of Persia: Lost Crown’s devs despite praise.

Microsoft shut Tango (Hi-Fi Rush) post-hit. Madness!

Concord, Suicide Squad, and XDefiant flopped harder than a Mario Party friendship.

Execs, play your own games.

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Gaming, ten villains plagued the land. 

• Corporate Puppeteers shuttered studios mid-quest. 
• Nostalgia Wizards sold repackaged spells at gold prices. 
• Soul-Sucking Robots droned dialogue, boring knights to sleep.
• A Downgrade Dragon breathed “updates” that melted GPUs.

• Brave players battled Launcher Labyrinths, only to face Risk-Averse Knights churning out the same quests. 
• DRM Goblins corrupted old treasures, while Microtransaction Mages demanded gold for armor reskins. 
• Golden Goose Slayers axed beloved blacksmiths, and Flop Giants tripped over their own hubris.

But hope arrived! Players united, demanding creativity over greed. Indie alchemists brewed bold potions, studios revived fallen heroes, and Half-Life 3 rumors sparked joy. The villains faded, and the kingdom thrived—until the next console war.

The end… or is it? 🎮✨
