They burned me out of Magic. It used to be that the game had distinct spoiler seasons, and the Standard format and game as a whole used to stand still for a while and be explored at length. Even the rotating Standard format had a period where you could grow really familiar with the format as it was even if you weren't a really plugged in grinder. Eternal formats changed slowly because power creep, while present, wasn't completely nuts.

Now, the environment is a neverending spoiler season that it's impossible to keep up with unless you're one of those NYC squirrels on crack. See a graphical representation here:

Meanwhile, power creep is out of hand, which means more releases are more relevant to more formats, the quality of the flavour has progressively gotten worse. There's more and more of "millenial writing" that substitutes being good with being sassy. When the game costs an arm and a leg, why bother.

D&D, similar deal. You have a fantasy setting, which should mean different creatures. What does Wizards do? Progressively remove more and more differentiation between different races and creatures. A 3m/10ft tall minotaur and a half-orc are both defined by strength, both get a +2STR which just feels wrong. But wait, there's more! A halfling can now decide to have the same bonus. It cheapens the setting when things don't mean something anymore.

Similarily, RPGs are generally about overcoming challenges. And we get, what. Wheelchair-accessible dungeons?? Coffee shop modules for D&D, of all things, instead of doing the concept in a more suitable system like a FATE derivative? College student representation obsession's run completely off the rails, and it means the product starts failing at its core purpose.
