I don't know if it's 'cause I'm getting older, or if it's because I've become increasingly tired of paying for shit I don't use. I dunno, fellas, maybe it's just a combination of the two. I still enjoy gaming every now and again, but with the state of the industry now, eh. I'm just content in playing a lot of older games.
I think I've now played a grand total of four 2020s games and we're more than halfway through the decade.
It has never been a better moment to fully embrace retro gaming. There are thousands of absolute gems going back decades that are easily accessible via emulation, repacks, recompilation or just plain old second-hand catalogs . No need to invest in overpriced hardware either as these can run on just about anything and with compatibility layers like Proton and developing ones like FEX, there will be no long term need to ever worry about being locked to a proprietary operating systems or hardware architecture. It is not that "you got old", Modern Corporate Western AAA gaming is shit because it is designed for the benefit of stock holders so everything has to be some sort of exploitative money or/and time sink.
