One Game I Don't Know Why

Chris Voiceman's song "One Game I Don't Know Why" captures the frustration and disappointment of a gamer who invested in a PlayStation 5 (PS5) only to find a lack of new and exclusive games. The lyrics reflect a sense of regret and disillusionment, as the protagonist grapples with the reality of owning a high-end console that doesn't meet their expectations. The repeated line, "I cried so hard for games at launch, but in the end, it's just got no games," underscores the emotional investment and subsequent letdown experienced by the gamer.

The song delves into the specifics of the PS5's features, such as its improved loading times and the promise of console exclusives, which ultimately fall short as many games are ported to PC. This shift in the gaming landscape, where exclusives are no longer a given, adds to the protagonist's sense of betrayal. The mention of the PS3 and the nostalgia for a time when console launches were more exciting and fulfilling further highlights the contrast between past and present gaming experiences.

The lyrics also touch on the financial aspect of gaming, with the protagonist lamenting the money spent on the console and services like PS Plus, only to feel that it was all for naught. The line, "I wasted it all just to watch movies," poignantly captures the sense of futility and the realization that the console is being used for purposes other than gaming. This song resonates with many gamers who have felt the sting of unmet expectations and serves as a critique of the current state of the gaming industry.
