Capitalism kills creativity. Thats why nearly every game is that exact same GTA, third person view game, just put in a new setting.
No one can take a risk and everything has to be as similar to the things that made money before, as possible. Everything has to be aimed at as wide an audience as possible, inevitably pleasing no one.
Cyberpunk is basically futuristic GTA in a first person view, saints row 4 was basically GTA with superpowers, spiderman is basically GTA as Spider-Man
Even in this one format, there’s endless room for creativity and innovation. It’s a formula for a fun game…
But where I loved cyberpunk, watchdogs was similar in many ways and I just couldn’t get into it
The problem is that they want to shove slop in proven molds and get a winning game. It’s still slop

That’s basically what I meant but you fleshed it out more.
Yeah, there probably is more that can be tried and maybe I’m being unkind to the format. Its not the formats fault.
I dunno. My kid plays paw patrol games on the switch. I’m fairly sure that’s a niche audience
