The era of traditional video games is just over for Gen Z. They aren’t just playing games anymore, instead, they are rewriting the rules. Forget about what we used to play with static storylines and pre-designed worlds.

There are plenty of “zoomers” playing “boomer shooters”, old TES games, retrogaming on emulators, etc. In my opinion, retrogaming increased significantly during the last decade. It’s kinda a part of mainstream gaming now, it was more niche before.

I wonder if the growing trend of retro gaming has anything to do with the industry push for live services and season passes. I know I’d rather be playing Morrowind than dealing with all these “$49.99 for 50% more shiny rocks to buy this weeks hat!”
