These days damn near anything that costs more than 30. Because the extra money isn't enough, they want to sell you $5000 in hats, too.

Multiplayer anything, dating sims, roguelikes. I will play single player games that offer multiplayer but never the multiplayer part. Oh and gatcha games, waifu collectors, etc. and anything p2w. Fuck that noise.
What's wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don't usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.
The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.
Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don't. 🤷♂️
For me it's the fact that most of them aren't actually able to be beaten on any given run.
This. I'm OK with permadeath (and in game), but when a game is setup in such a way that most playthroughs just aren't winnable, even by someone with perfect knowledge, I hate them.
Anything multiplayer, free-to-play and/or gacha. Nowadays I also avoid FromSoftware and anything trying to ape them, I used to love these kind of games but I just don't have the patience and fortitude for them anymore.
Oh and Nintendo, then again it's easy to avoid them considering I haven't owned one of their consoles since the Game Cube.
I avoid Nintendo too. They are way too litigious and imo actively hate their fans. There are too many instances of fans that make something out of love and for free, that nintendo comes up and sues the pants off of. Also they never put their games on sale which is just a dick move.
They are becoming the gaming version of Disney to me. They try to look squeaky clean and family friendly, but are actually a really horrible and sad group of people that are losing the ability to innovate and only really "win" by suing everything into the ground and being greedier than the next guy.
Nintendo is Japanese Disney. Pikachu is Japanese Mickey.
FPSs with the sole exception being Fallout 4. I don't know how people can tell that a single pixel moving far off in the distance is the enemy. And what do you mean someone's shooting me from behind at exactly 161.8°? How can you tell? HOW?
Fallout 4 is an FPS and not an RPG?
I'm not sure how you're defining FPS but to me it's a mix of both.
I actually had more fun with FO3 when I fought battles like an FPS instead of like an RPG with VATS or whatever.

Games made by Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, or Paradox.
MOBA games, I spent years playing heroes of newerth and Dota2, but as I got older and had less time to play it got increasingly harder to keep up with all the changes, and I realised it was just making me stressed playing it rather than enjoying it. Still enjoyed watching The International for a few years after I quit though.
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
Any dev's online game that does not want to support Linux in their AC for whatever reason, even if it is a matter of just flipping a goddam switch.
Yup. Got locked out myself since I only play on a linux machine. Yeah rockstar you can fuck right off.
These days anything with a story honestly.
If I want a story I'll watch TV with my wife. When I play games I'd rather pay something short and fun, like a round of deadlock recently.
At this point, anything that isn't Smash Brothers or Apex Legends.
Anything Ubisoft
F2P, RTS, and anime games
And RTS? For the same reason or different?
I'm gonna make a microtransaction-laden gambling trap competitive multiplayer dating sim, get EA to publish it, and title it "🖕"
I think that's just called "reality".
Well, ever since the whole thing where macrohard/mojangles/whichever decided "you know what minecraft needs? CLIENT SIDE CHAT SCANNING AND CENSORSHIP!" I decided to switch over to Minetest and have never looked back.
I don't mind big servers having censorship because that's their deal and they can use whatever chat filters/plug-ins they want, but do we really need singleplayer to be censored? Or our chat messages to be scanned for things mc deem inappropriate? Absolutely not!
