Yes, it is the best time for gaming, but now is the worst time to get NEW games. What makes the present the best time are the libraries of games that are available at the starting position and how easy it is to find steep discounts on comparatively recent games. There are a variety of subscription services for those who prefer the option, and there are robust options for playing from the couch, desk, or on the go.

However, the industry is eating itself alive. Hardware prices no longer make any sense, the Big Three are backsliding on the accessibility of their products, and publishers’ standards have never been lower for what’s considered a finished product.

So it all depends which direction you look. The next ten years looks absolutely awful going by the state of where things are, but if you can look backwards, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than, wait, that’s the Lion King but you know what I mean.
