Top 10 modern industry trends that have gamers worried [video]

Listicle website WatchMojo has put together an interesting list for those who play video game. It tackles what gamers are afraid of with current industry trends, many we see on a regular basis.

The video shows off games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Dead Space 3, and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate for its various topics. Even though it shows snippets of Subway, Mountain Dew, and Geoff Keighley, the video makes no mention of those aspects, but rather concentrates on what the producers hope are just fads.

For those who can’t watch videos at work, here’s a list of the topics:

• Linearity
• Lack of local co-op / same room multiplayer
• Open worlds / empty worlds
• AAA gaming and stagnating genres
• Yearly franchise releases
• Pre-order culture
• State of mobile games
• Always online
• Broken games released
• Microtransactions

We won’t list exactly what WatchMojo says about each topic; you’ll just have to watch the video below.
