CoD is the nickelback of shooters, Skyrim the nickelback of RPG's, Age of Empires the nickelback of RTS's and FIFA the nickelback of sports games.
​
Edit for the downvotes: im not saying they're bad, im saying they're extremely mainstream and almost genre-defining.

Any of the EA sports games are pretty much equal to FIFA, it could be NBA, NFL, hell even the PGA golf games could be Nickelback. They are all basically just roster updates now every version that comes out.

Absolutely.
The same rehashed, mass-market appeal drivel year after year, but it still sells millions

I don't think Nickelback released as many albums as you think to warrant "year-after-year" and they haven't sold millions in like over a decade.

I mean... hasn't it been a decade since their last album?

Apparently not, had to google it. They also have one in the works now it seems.

CoD feels more like the Drake of gaming.
Was quite good but sort of hit a sag but nevertheless does big numbers every time theres a new release. Occasionally surprising you with some heat to make you remember why you like them.

FIFA.
It’s the same stupid broken shit, every year, and yet people still willingly spend money on it.
It stands for Fucking Idiotic Failures Association.

Fortnite. We love to hate it but it’s still good despite all of it

I agree with others that said Fortnite. Overwhelmingly made fun of for being bad, despite not actually being that bad and being loved by tons of people.

EA aren't the Nickelback of gaming, they are the Metallica of gaming. Once considered the peak of their industry, but became a corporate shitshow that puts profits over quality of product...
