From the video description:

The Deepest Games are DUMB. How is it possible that this generation of game developers, who are clearly articulate and educated, be so obsessed with the idea of creating deep meaningful games, and yet consistently produce games that are shallow and automated? Also, why does it seem impossible for the depth of the games of the past to be re-created? There clearly isn't any technological barrier, so what is the problem?

One of the major problems that I discuss in today's video is the obsession modern developers have with making smart games and being perceived as these masters of human psychology and technology. Where this stems from is hard to know for sure, but there is clearly a trend of developers being able to find the areas of their game that contain the potential for depth, and then systematically eliminating them. Ironically a lot of these areas are labeled as "outdated" but what I think developers and reviewers really mean to say is dumb. No one would argue pixel art is outdated. No one would argue that Mario 3 and their favorite Super Nintendo games are outdated. What they mean is that these games are presenting the player true punishment and no smartly devised system to go around the punishment.

I would like to switch away from Apple Music, and Spotify despite being a European company, is not a desirable option for me. What music streaming services would you recommend?

I managed to download a text-only list of the albums in my Apple Music library, so if there's a simple library import option then that would also be very helpful.
