Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games

The death of monoculture comes for gaming too. The sheer number of games out there means you can always find some niche gem that really appeals to you and you specifically, but then you might not find anyone else who knows it and wants to talk about it.
Had that monoculture even existed?
When I was a kid, Sega Genesis was the main console. But I had a lot of friends who only played Mortal Kombat and I was the guy who only plays Dune 2. I guess there was a lot of people who played all the Sonic and Mario games, maybe they were the “monoculture”.

Pretty much all the games I like are that way. I am hoping AI gets good enough, that I can have a buddy for playing and talking about niche games together.
