what a weird ass article that really says and accomplishes nothing
It really is. I would go as far as to call it a clickbait article. The title is intriguing but the only addition to the statement is that that the era is over because every game doesn't need to release with something new. And that's essentially the whole article as the rest is just filler.
I am pretty sure the "every game doesn't need something new" era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.
The guy is in old man mode.
