I don’t agree with your last statement because it is just factually incorrect. For example, in 2020 there were 9,512 video games released versus 403 movies. That’s a huge discrepancy.
Have you ever been on steam, the Nintendo store, the PlayStation store, or the Xbox store? There are literally thousands of shovelware games released every year that you never ever hear of because they’re absolutely garbage.
I play 15-20 games per year and watch at least an equal number of movies. In my honest but not critically relevant opinion, for the most part the good video games have more intriguing, better fleshed out stories than the good movies. This is the benefit of having 20-40 hours to tell your story versus 90-180 minutes.
I’m just gonna say here that you either aren’t playing enough games or you’re giving movies way too much credit. I think there are infinitely better stories in video games in the last 5 years than there have been in films and I’m huge buff of both.
