Then they can wait six years between sips of AAA piss, I suppose.
My friends with kids don’t seem to have any problem picking up Sonic, Pokemon, or Guantlet. One’s even picked up Eldin Ring.
You don’t need nostalgia to enjoy nice things.

You don’t need to wait to play games that came out thirty years ago.
Plenty of young people are into retro gaming.
