Shout out to the millennials on social platforms that got kerfuffled last week by my musings around exclusives and the Gen Xers that did the same on (ewwww) LinkedIn.
C'mon Xers. Stop posting on LinkedIn so much. What are you even doing.
Also, let the past go. The past is the past. It's donezo.

Anyways we are right in the middle of a fundamental, foundational and monumental shift away from the console warz of yore to the games-as-platforms battle of the live service behemoths of the future, and what's happening tangentially around the industry can in no small part be attributed to this.
