just for the sake of correctness the "golden age" of gaming in considered to be the late 70's and early 80's right before the video game crash:

and now we are in an era, that hasn't been named yet:

Call this era, "the golden era that made the 'original golden era' irrelevant". Btw, can you explain to me how the late 70's and early 80's are the golden era??? I'm tired of golden = OLD as fuck, that era was simply near the beginning of the video game industry, idk how it's golden.....

Quality......waaaaaayyyy higher now.....popularity.....higher now, what else is there?

Because almost every game that came out in the golden age added a revolutionary new thing to gaming.  Today almost every game is a tired clone of something older.  Just browse through that golden age article.  It's insane.  You get things like Space Invaders in 1978, which actually invented the high score.  Now people call them "leaderboards" to try to stay fresh, but they're just using busted old high scores from 31 years ago.  But they won't fool me!
