        Not sure I buy that. I think there’s been a steady decline. None of the sports titles have done anything interesting in years. Shooters have been declining too. Go back a decade and they had some bright spots like Battlefield Bad Company, which I’d argue broke the mold that they’ve used before and after those games.
