With the endless drumbeat of negative news and grifter rubbish about everything is doomed and how modern gaming sucks and everything is awful now, you know what I realized? Gaming today is actually kinda great.
Sure, there's lots of bloated, shitty games that epitomize everything wrong with the industry, but hey, nobody's forcing me to play that shit, and at the same time there's no shortage of actual quality games if you look for them; just in the last few months we've gotten Pragmata, RE Requiem, Mouse PI for Hire, Vampire Crawlers, Forza Horizon 6, Pokemon Pokopia, Mewgenics, Tomodachi Life, Crimson Desert, Screamer, Motorslice...
And it's not like the past is closed to us either; we have at our disposal more than half a century of games, much of which has been made accessible through modern platforms without even the need for original hardware; guarantee there are amazing games out there you've never played before.
Gaming today doesn't suck, you just gotta look on the bright side.
