   I'll go first.
   Racing games no longer offer a tournament modes with progressive upgrade systems, where after each race, you are actually rewarded for being the best with money, that you can spend on getting a better gear.

     @LukeAlmighty User interface and game design made for 0 attention span ADHD faggots.
     Compass markers, objective overlay markers, simplified objectives.
     Even maps in general.
     You remember more of the game if there's no map, because you have to, and it's usually a better experience as a result.

     Yes, I did complain about this already many times, but half of the issue seems to be the constant pursuit of graphical detail, that no longer allows you to play the game directly.

     Also, minimaps are OP as fuck. I tried playing the Warframe again yesterday, and immediately realized, that I cannot see shit, and I spent more time looking at the mini map, then on the actual game, since there was no way I could find shit without it.

     So, yeah. 100%. I just don't think the problem is the brainrot as much as an absolute insanity of a modern game design obsessions with incompatible desires for photorealism and ability to play the fucking game.

     @LukeAlmighty what? Need for Speed, Gran Turismo, and Forza all do this. You get money based on placements and then buy upgrade parts or new vehicles.

     @LukeAlmighty @coded_artist I played Blacklight for the majority of my FPS experience as a teenager and, because of that, I just tune out minimaps completely lol. The game has a wall hack instead of a mini map so I just don't pay attention to it in other games.

     @beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty Only racing game I've played recently is Dirt 2.0, in which the upgrading is very limited, because the racing is based on real life cars that actually exist and are not yours to upgrade. There is still some sense of progression as you move through the eras though, because the cars get faster and faster.
     I suck with any car that has more than 150 horse power and have to mess with the gears to make the car slower and more controllable.

     @LukeAlmighty Gran Turismo and Need for Speed doesn't do that anymore?
     Those are the games I played in the past which followed that pattern.

     @Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty they do. The only games that don't really do that are the futuristic racers, where the progression is focused on more and more difficult tracks and your skill increasing to stay alive and get faster times.

     This is just how warframe is. I've played for 6k hours and I basically just stare at the overlay map to navigate and loot like and arpg.

     @Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty I don't know man, Non of the Dark Souls games had a map, and they had numerous fairly large areas.
     Did the first Deus Ex have a map? I don't remember.
     I don't think maps are that important.

     @coded_artist @LukeAlmighty Maps are so near-essential that you almost cannot not-have them, but it is possible to remove the minimap.
     More importantly for making the player recognize the world that they are playing is to remove fast-travel.

     @SirLuke @LukeAlmighty Minorities and women in gaming are the source of this evil, I'm sure of it.

     These UI changes are required for folx experiencing differently-abledness.
     Equity is more important than coddling chuds.

     @coded_artist @LukeAlmighty Dark Souls games' maps are kind of corridor-y, the games are just good at hiding it, which makes maps much less required.
