Guilty as charged!

Fwiw I love gaming nowadays, things like itch and steam self-publishing just didn’t exist nearly to the same extent they did back in the day, and this has allowed for niche titles I could only dream of back in the day, weird artsy games like Buckshot Roulette, Disco Elysium and Warframe finding success is awesome and was definitely not a thing in the past where gatekeeping was inherent to gaming.

Even hardware stuff like FBT trackers and steam deck and the crazy modding scene of today are things I love about modern gaming.

That doesn’t mean it’s not without things to critique, as every generation of games has, nor that nothing of value has been lost.
