Maybe I'm really getting old (34 now), but I got sooo fed up with all those indies. I don't want to say ANYTHING bad about indies, people who enjoy them or their creators. To each their own, we all play games, we all enjoy games, that's totally fine.
But I dunno, I downloaded Tunic through GamePass, I started playing it and understood I didn't get the Series X for that. It wasn't cheap or easy to get, and I felt I didn't get it for a game that could very well run on a smartphone or on the 360. AAA releases are quite often far from ideal, QUITE often, but they at least show the muscle of the hardware. I bought the X for mind-blowing worlds, with ray tracing and stuff - and people all over the web are saying how great Tunic or Stardew Valley is and don't seem to want any of this. Of course, no one makes me play any indie titles with a gunpoint at my head, but the more attention they get, the less we get of high-profile releases. More and more often GamePass is stuffed with indie titles. I've been gaming since 1991, I've seen the 3D revolution, I remember the awe of first playing Super Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Half Life. Back in the day, Gears of War seemed unbelievable. And now we get...Tunic. Feels kinda sad.
