No shade and I totally respect that it’s not exactly your specific beat, but I’d be willing to upgrade to paid if there was someone reporting on the dearth of real innovation in gameplay since Shadow Of Mordor/Nemesis.

To be clear, that’s mostly my biased opinion; while I respect that plenty of games have come out since then with various innovations, nothing feels genuinely groundbreaking anymore. It’s just remixes and reskins of this or that new trend or preexisting genres.

So yeah, again no shade, just saying that this is one of the 2-3 things that would snooker me into subscribing. I’d even be open to seeing a wide-ranging discussion on whether my idiosyncratic opinion is even valid. Just saying it’d be catnip and I couldn’t resist subscribing to a thoughtful dialog on the topic of whether the industry is caught in a creative doldrums.
