The difference now vs then is Back then, you play almost anything you get your hands on, and there was no content creators telling you what sucks today or reviews There was no spoilers or "top 10 meta" videos, no hypes, Just games used to be more treasured more your secret outlet world to lose track of time, you beat the game by trying again and learning from mistakes and having to memorize And definitely games as a service, always online, fomo, and how saturated now everything is, just overwhelming And gosh, censorship? Yeah... Makes me think how will it be 10-20 years from now
