Which generations? What do you mean? 

He probably means people who grew up gaming in the 80s/90s see it as a decline because many of the big franchises and genres of that time are dead or niche while people who started gaming in the 2000s probably see it as a great time because we are now getting bigger, better versions of the type of games they started with.

Thats how I interpreted it.

That's a good way to put it :)

Also, Beast Wars rocks.

Hmm. I'm in my 30's and I see it as gaming is only getting better. The thing that I miss from those days is the turn based rpgs but I understand that gaming has to evolve and the genres change.  Alot more can be done in a game then back in the day. Developers are more able to build worlds that are believable. That's more important to me then feeling a bit of nostalgia from a game. I don't know if others my age will see it the same but they've definitely seen gaming change decade after decade. I remember playing games like pong or duck hunt or super mario brothers wishing it was something like the witcher 3 or TLOU, now those kind of games are here, why would I ever want it to revert back to those boring ass side scrolling games?
