Was the 90's and early 2000's more innocent in gaming than it is today?

The internet made everything more toxic, not just gaming.

It's not all bad though. Thanks to the internet, there are tons of information on games, such as walkthroughs and guides, seemingly endless gameplay videos etc.

Ehh, I prefer the good old FAQ / Walkthroughs downloaded from a BBS near you over the endless jabbering game play videos of today. There are still some walkthroughs but you have to wade through ads, spread over a million pages for clicks.

You didn't have to worry about spoiler alerts either if you didn't finish a game the day it came out lol.

Nah, the internet did make everything worse. But at least we can complain about it on the internet :)
