Didpeople forgot howto make worthwhile games?

Seriously, what the fuck happened to games like ultima 7, contra 3, jet set radio, baldurs gate, fallout, planescape, gunstar heroes, wonder boy, secret of mana.

Did people shit themselves over final fantasy 7 and just all decide to say "LOL IT'S EASIER TO MAKE GAMES FOR NIGGERS AND THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR SO LET'S ALL MAKE FINAL FANTASY SEVENS OR WOW'S"

People are still making worthwile games.  They are just hidden behind the overwhelming legions of shit titles that come out every few minutes these days.  As production time decreases and developers care less about their products, the few gems where a developer cares or a programmer has poured his life into the game become harder and harder to find, but...

Protip: stick to indie games and indie companes like pixel or that game company or chilselbrain.  That's where the new quality has gone.
