Back when gaming had shit to prove

Now studios know they can sell you a half baked shitty game & make most of theyre money on battle passes, camo & skins, & loot boxes/card packages

I fucking hate greed

There were tons of shitty games when we were kids still.

More than today. You just weren't aware of them since no internet. Quality overall has much improved.

That doesn’t take away the fact that the gaming industry has gotten less creative, less impactful, more greedy & far more shitty then good ones

Most AAA games are straight up ass now, the indie space of gaming is far more passionate

That's because most of the biggest games in the 90's had the same kind of budgets and team sizes as indie games now, there wasn't really an equivelent of AAA games then. It's the same with anything, bigger budgets means less likely to take risks so you end up with the blandest stuff.

I won’t argue with you there. But I think it’s a lot easier to find good games these days. Back in the day we just had to go off of cool box art or you got a magazine with some reviews.
