It was around 2008

Off the top of my head

Main character from The Force Unleashed
Main character from Infamous
Main character from Dead Space
Main character from Mass Effect
Main character from GTA4
Main character from Assassin Creed
Main character from Resistance 2

I remember making a topic about it at the time saying game developers were lazy and copying each other making a generic wannabe marine looking type of dude and I got flamed for it.

Plus Unreal Engine 3 was hot shit for all platforms in each of their own specific ways, especially PS3.

And the box art of every game was just Bob the Bodybuilder standing with a gun.

I remember it being a semi big story when it came out that Elizabeth had been booted off the Bioshock Infinite box, and Ellie was almost removed from the Last of Us box.

This is sort of related. I played through a certain expansion of a game that featured the return of a 'fan favorite'

Without his 'iconic hat' he just looks like a generic video game man lol

Yeah, I was never a fan and ironically this is the only haircut I can do anymore.

It's funny how so many gamer nerds act like developers are ruining female character designs by making women who they claim aren't attractive enough for their standards, or the ones who complain about SJWs whenever a game features POC main character. These same people never cared or noticed all the male character designs we've been fed that look like the same boring white guy in his 30s
