I think for most of your examples it's your rose-colored glasses speaking.
> also a ton more Toxic and Mean
You're just forgetting all the console war stuff from the past. Or the "CoD lobby" type shit.
> E3 or even Gamescom from the 2010s im like "Holy Shit look at all these Cool Games" but obviously nowadays its just "meh" really
Again, I think you're just not thinking about all these mediocre games that have existed since the very beginning. All the shitty movie tie-ins or whatever, that got pumped out all the time.
Gaming has been toxic and mean for a loooong time. Shitty games have been made since basically the very beginning.

And before CoD lobbies it was Halo and Socom lobbies. PvP skill based games will always foster toxic communities because the tryhards don't understand friendly competition.
