I'm not really that informed either. Most of my buys come from recommendations from friends, the occasional LP, Zero Punctuation and whatever looks cool and is on sale/whatever I've been meaning to play from the Playstation Store.

Following all the stupid promotions and E3 and all that nonsense is utterly exhausting.

Sorry, how was this a surprise? Assassins Creed has released at least one game every year since the franchise was born. I'd be surprised if Ubosoft didn't release a new Assassins Creed every year.

Actually thinking on it for a few seconds, maybe that's the point - perhaps everyone is so used to a new Assassins Creed being released every year that it has stopped becoming 'news' and therefore not many places are running features on it.

Little Nightmares just came out and despite being a charming, dark Limbo clone, it doesn't say anything about race relations or take a dig at GamerGate, so who cares?!
Have any games actually taken a dig at the Gatekeepers?

I'd like to know, as I would be happy to support them financially.
Oh I'm sure. Any game that mentions ethics or someone being a fake Xer is taking the piss.
What's a fake Xer? fake Gen X?

Its a variable, like from Maths. X stands for a bunch. Fake Gamer, Fake Fan, Fake Orgasms, Fake Nerd, etc...
Any identity that people think actually means something and can only be applied to people of a certain group.

If it?s any day of the week, sometime between 12:00am and 11:59pm, it?s a safe bet another Assassins Creed game is ?almost ready.? Be more surprised when an RSS feed tells you Ubisoft is finally putting that dead horse in the ground...

But seriously, could be oversaturation. It?s easy to hear what one person is yelling, but a lot harder to hear that same person when a thousand people are yelling just as loud. There?s a lot of ?news? going on with new consoles, holiday releases, etc.; unless that Ass Creed or any other title of note is ?almost ready? enough for a November 2017 release, no one?s interested.

Or you could be getting older. Not sure of your age, but I?m 37, and ten years ago, I was plugged in everywhere; if it was game-related, I was in the know. Nowadays, I?m so disaffected and disinterested with the piecemealed sameness across the industry, I?m basically tuned out; 90% of my gaming news comes from my girlfriend?s 12-year-old son when he slows down long enough to tell me about the next CoD or DLC for [insert generic CoD-like FPS] he?s getting.
Pretty much this for me, but in 28. 10 years ago i could probably name every game that was being released that year. Now, i couldnt tell you what came out this week.

I just stoped frequenting gaming sites. I stop participating in discussion forums. It all seems so pointless and frivolous. I follow games for genres i enjoy. And it ends there. There is so much hate and contemt is not worth it.
