The "Console Wars" Are Over

Forget wars. These days, I feel like the console industry is already over, and I'm actively preparing to leave it. Every other day, I am seeing more and more studios using AI to make their games, and I feel like the writing is not just on the wall, it's tattooed to all our faces. Have we all realized it, yet? Clearly not. And some of us are going to be buck against the concept of gaming's demise so hard, that they're going to claim it's not that big a deal, that they will still love it, that everyone is just over-reacting. But the truth is, it is over. Done. Finished. This is the point in history where we're going to look back and realize that human art had been diagnosed with late-stage, terminal cancer; the beginning of the end.

So for me, I've decided to leave and spend my dollars building up and amassing a vast collection of retro consoles and games, things that I know were made by humans and that I will enjoy until the end of my days. Because they could release the second-coming, but if AI made it, I do not want it. You all can keep at it. I'm out.

Yeah even the niche PSVR2 store is getting invaded with AI slop :/

I have my eye on this for The Midnight Walk special edition

Might be the last handcrafted game creation...
