Being able to buy whatever game I want ruined gaming for me

I think ease of access is definitely part of it. When you can only get a new game every so often it’s easy to fall in love with something that’s mediocre because you know you won’t be getting anything else for awhile, so you make it work

But if you can just get a new game whenever or already have a sizable backlog, as soon as something is mildly boring or inconvenient in some way its trivial to dump it and move on to something else that might be more fun, or just go back to what you already know is fun

Part of it too is its just natural for your tastes to refine over time. You’ve read a lot of books, youve played a lot of games, there’s a lot of concepts that seemed fresh and intriguing the first time you saw them, but now you can identify them elsewhere and it feels like more of the same, and this just gets more true with time.

Its not 2004 and you’re not on eti anymore, you don’t have to be an ironic shithead on the zone

I’ll have to get back to you on that
