Not sure that it is killing the fun, but it shifts so much of the cost and focus to the technical, show off every bit of the newest hardware capabilities, that the core "make it fun" can get lost in the mix. Over last few months majority of my gaming has been from my Christmas sales steam purchases, mixed in with some TF2. With way more time than I care to admit spent playing Xcom UFO Defense, damn sure not challenging any hardware with this decade old title, but for me these games were fun, and I find myself playing them far more than many newer titles, *shrug*
