It's funny how years ago you had much smaller teams, much smaller budgets, much shorter development times, yet the games were so much better.

A few talented and passionate developers will run circles around hundreds of diversity hires and pajeets.

Unironically, the developers were on average more competent, in large part because the learning curve was much more steep for programmers. Nowadays things are so accessible that 20 year old "techies" have difficulties to understand classical folder systems for example. Just imagine how many more things they don't know because they aren't forced to deal with. I had to tinker with my old Windows 95 system because of issues that are now obsolete, but for all the frustration and wasted time I was left with many lessons that will never be heard off by kids growing with laptops and streamlined consoles.

I had to look in that above video for a particular console... and while it's there, it's not connected.

Feels like soon as gaming became mainstream, the faggotry and bullfuckery of the modern world had to get its slenderly fingers upon it.
A gaming crash would be most welcome, even though it's probably unlikely. The nearest we will get to a "downfall" of gaming are washed up devs malding over losing their jobs at "generic big company".
