I blame all the distractions people have these decades therefore they grow old without ever realizing who they are, so they just wear a social mask that's popular on internet. As a result they become a copy-paste NPCs.
Back then people used to see things from their own POV according to common sense. By being aware of your own humanity, regardless of sense of morality there are things that will be always "okay" and "not okay". For example back then a video game releasing with tons of bugs wouldn't be acceptable but new generation people normalized it because the echo chamber between fools and insane people on internet causes a distortion of how most people are. Most sane people doesn't use social media for how insane it's, but people mostly exposed to people on social media so as they grow up they develop a bad social mask according to how people are in social media. As a result they have sexual fetish over being scammed, Nintendo suing people just because a guy named Mario wanted to call his supermarket Super Mario, and they normalized all fucked up porn shit that even leaked into ordinary video games that's not particularly for adult games. New generation people cannot even see how porn is "wtf" as they normalized it as if it's a need like breathing lol. Companies selling insanity and also its cure by internet normalizing BS by destroying common sense each day. Instead of common sense people having a brain fart like a code of life they follow mindlessly lol.
Until 2000s had no chance to read a video game magazine but I can imagine before 2000s due to the way how people actually had a common sense for they were a person who is aware of who they are and therefore can think their place in life among rest of humanity their reviews would be more decent. New generation people have no idea to be part of the society and behave in the way what is expected from them which is why reviews these days are way more nonsense than I got to know. Youtubers start to think "people love me" when in reality people only like what they do and how they do, as a result they go off track and they are like "I'm not interested in video games anymore, let's talk about all the women wronged me and listen to me bitching about people" because they believe they finally became something due to all the attention they had so they mistakenly believe what people want is them. That's why for attention they superglue their ass and try to shit while trying to play games for reviews anymore lolol.
