Sadly their visions of exceptional are not the same as ours.

Gaming in the 1990s was still a niche thing, nerds ruled the computers and wanted games with heavy investment and enrichment. We got massive worlds, amazing concepts, and deep lore.

Gaming nowadays is now controlled more by the causal gamers, the ones that wish to play a game and beat it in the same day due to not having enough time. I don't exactly get that logic, it is like the gamers themselves think games are movies, but it means modern games (at least the major hits in AAA gaming) need to be simple to complete.
