30+ years is old for sure, and platforms fit in that range.
20+ years could be debated, but I consider that old too.
Being old is not a negative, just a description about how long something has been around.

completely agree. I probably pick up another side scroller, turn based, or RTs game anytime soon… but I’m glad those game genre’s are still coming out with new games.

I am asking this as I am interested in how other people choose games and think about things but you choose games to buy by the looks of it or does gameplay mechanics play any role in it?
I have been playing games since 1988 so I have played a lot of stuff during my whole life but I have never considered only buying games of a certain genre or camera perspective etc. Gameplay is what catches me and the amount of indie games in my library is proof of this. That said I mostly play to see and experience different rules and mechanics in games. Very seldom I finish a game because once I figured it out it is probably dead to me as I find something new to play. There are exceptions of course. And yes, I know I have a problem 😂

TLDR those genres don’t give me enough of a dopamine hit to keep playing them anymore. They might as well be bejeweled. If it’s not something I can play with IRL friends, or sandbox, it’s probably not really compatible with my lifestyle anymore.
