Everything is changing right now: the internet, AAA gaming, ai, traditional console gaming and more. So yeah, this is probably the worst generation for traditional gaming ever, and since AAA gaming is not sustainable as is, we'll just get more f2p, GaaS and $100 games that include mtx and battle passes even for sp games, plus ever-rising costs for online and subscription services.
Even though I own PS5, Series X and S and Switch I don't spend money for playing online, and rarely sub to stuff like GP and PS+, and almost never buy $70 games, so there's no chance I'll buy them at $100. Oh, and once physical games are totally gone I'll just stop buying new games and focus on older stuff and only buy super cheap digital titles going forward.
