- Do not say “gaming is dead” . That statement is the single most dangerous threat to gaming because it promotes nihilism. Just because a studio fucked Halo or other games up doesn’t mean gaming is dead because there is still demand for it even for the god awful abortions that are Halo 4 and 5 but because some of the community is so barin-rotted by nihilistic doomerism they don’t know what to do.
Instead of screeching like a banshee over gaming is dead, take the gold pill and promote good games to the younger generations like The Master Chief Collection or Ultrakill, or People Playground, whatever good game you have you mast encourage it to the younglings so they understand why gaming is such a dire state.

Encourage gamers to take action where possible. Helldivers II narrowly avoided ruin when Sony pressured the devs to require a PS account to play it and got rightfully flakked for it. A lot of gamers in some Halo modding Discords I am in support unions and are fairly progressive barring the liberal bs. Although this sounds weird, I recommend you create curator groups specifically to promote good games no one has even heard of like Ultrakill or People Playground.

Push back against bad narratives. Be it anti wokeness or “game bad because of bullshit reason number 3019”, you need to push back against them, especially “gaming is dead” and “muh rose tinted glasses” bullshit. We need to get gamers to focus on pushing back against the big studios or get the younger generations to know why gaming is in such a terrible state.
Play OMORI. There, I said it.
