Maelstrom declares games are best when spoofing serious things.

Stop overanalyzing shit.

Games which focus on fun and are quirky=most people enjoy

Games which focus on being serious (and almost always will have story)=niche, only some people enjoy.

To put it another way, after SNES, games started moving into serious mature mode (More and more blood and gore, focus on adult themes like war etc, focus on realism overt art).

And the industry has been losing the mass market customers ever since

you kno... I should of read this debate Starter.... I had already disprove this theory long ago...you like me, were referring to Console not Arcades....now u jumped way back post Home Console gaming

When i was talking about when the game industry was losing customers, it was after SNES.

When we discuss whether gaming always had stories, that includes the whole of gaming, not just NES+ days, which is not the total history of gaming, not even console gaming really.

ok, so there actually was a misunderstanding.

We are talking about home consoles. Nobody wanted a story on an arcade machine because they were on the go.

Maybe instead of "devs always wanted to have stories but were limited by the space of the media" I should have said, "devs always wanted to have stories but were limited by the space of the media and consumer indifference"
