The cycle of the gaming industry it seems;
New company forms, makes innovative game (or at least a game with some
innovations in it,) crafts it carefully with lots of attention to
detail, tests it fully and sells it at a reasonable price.

Then they become big since the game is a major hit, and follow it up
with something a bit less well crafted or well tested and the price goes
up.
Repeat until borged or until they become an UBI or EA and just produce
the same old crap over and over again until; a new company forms, makes
an innovative game ...

Now if only some of the giants would just die already and stop flooding
the market with crap games and lowering the expectations of the public.

Currently playing Path of Exile and even in Beta, it's everything
Diablo3 should have been.   It's got a few warts, but those are probably
there deliberately for the beta (the fast reset of zones for one) or
will be addressed before the game goes live.

All Hail the Indies!  
PC gaming will never die as long as the Indies are around.
