The downplaying on this thread is heavy.

One thing to consider when saying that the game in 2 or 3 decades ago didn't had as many publications for it to receive GOTY or that Zelda holds as the best game ever because of no game passing it in metacritic yet.... Games evolve and get better every passing year, if you don't agree with that then you should just go back and stuck to whatever time you think games were better. Because different than music and witting the technology keeps evolving and products of it improving. Or would anyone say if that same zelda evaluated today would get majority of GOTYs or high Meta even if resolution/texture were updated?

Your whole Thesis breaks apart because your base assumption is wrong. Music and writing are also constantly evolving. It's a huge misconception that improvements in technology leads to better games, improvements in technology open up new ways in gaming but doesn't render old ways useless.

Go and Chess are hundreds of years old and still super popular. Counter Strike still has one of the biggest player base of all multiplayer shooters on the market. Super Metroid, a link to the past and Starcraft: Brood War are still among the best games in their genres.

Yes Go is almost the same as videogames.

But you are free to have your opinion that games aren't getting better. No problem on you keep playing in Atari or NES.
