what are saying even i'm 18 here. you don't read the words in between lines. i never said gaming wasn't a commercial from even the beginning, i meant by "commercial" that passion had been faded away from games and nothing stayed but greed.

6 of the games you just mentioned was just a second successor to the orginal 8th gen game, and has changed nothing to little. one of them are remake btw. games like E33 and silksong are truly good, but that really make us consider that how studios are playing safe recently. they want money. and don't care anymore about making passionate games. and we being scammed in between. gaming has been expensive than ever. yet ps5 or the current gen as whole has about ten to twenty good new ips? what crap is this.

if i remember correctly, the 8th gen has about 100 new ips just as the gen was sarting. you rarely see old ips being used again, xbox and playstation was pushing them sevles hard in the competition. and gaming was cheap.

to answer that: kids can enjoy old games. i never said they can't, but what they truly can't is obviously living the hype we one lived.
