We are living in the best era for gaming

The best era, IMHO, was Genesis/SNES. Likely it won't ever be touched. Amazing games. No subscriptions, no DLC, no MTX. Just straight up great games. Turbo 16 was solid as well. Arcades were alive and well too.

In the US maybe. And even then I would doubt it. But the thing is, access to gaming throughout the world was pretty bad still. US and Japan worked better, but Europe not so much and other countries even worse.

And as I said before: with the Indie explosion we see more games covering more niches with more creativity than ever.

Yeah I'm speaking about US only.  The 90s was amazing.  So many great games.  Granted I like older games because modern games are too big and has too much narrative.  Contra 3 is a great example, it just takes off running immediately.
