Why have zoomers turned their back on modern games and embraced retro?
>>722472423no they havent. its nostalgic millennial faggots buying this shit
Dude they have fucking nothing. Why wouldn't they?
>>722472423They desperately want to have a "thing" or a "quirk." It's why they'll buy a "dumb" brickphone, even though everyone who was alive to have used them thinks they're useless, and why they keep self-diagnosing themselves with "gender dysphoria" or autism, completely unaware of the irony that they actually already do have a legitimately psychological condition: Munchausen Syndrome.

>>722472423That's funny, they accidentally put a gamecube next to all those retro consoles
>>722474881It's been 24 years anon
>>722472423for one you get to own your fucking games
>>722472661>Dude they have fucking nothing.They have nothing because they're not allowed to own anything. Literally everything comes with an EULA saying that whatever they just bought is going to be stolen so don't get too attached to it.
>>722472423Modern games are enshittified to the extent that even consoomers are finding them intolerable, so they are retreating into nostalgia.
>>722472423>>722472508Its both. Zoomers are experiencing the shit for the first time and millennials because they're nostalgic. Zoomers have been convinced that you need to experience old games on the original hardware. Millennials want to hold the original controllers in their hands like when they were a kid. Both are getting gouged by opportunistic sellers. Also you can find used but still in good condition stuff in a lot of thrift shops. Basically its cheaper to play a lot of old stuff than shell out $80 for a one new game. So shit economy, nostalgia and first time interest
>>722472661>AAA is shit scared to do anything new and is milking itself to death in full view of everyone while letting itself get sabotaged by committee subhumans >Indie is good but plagued by nostalgia issues and it’s best examples are only on PC>AA is in a surreal hell where they’re barely holding on but still leagues above AAA while making no money>Gabe Newell will die in their lifetime
>>722472508I mean, I'm a 94 baby and I own next to 0 retro games. This is the entirety of my physical collection minus some worthless Win98 and Wii games. The biggest barrier to entry for retro to me is find a (good) CRT and I just can't be bothered to both do my research and just do it.
>>722472423Because they're very bad at newer games.They have to return to retro because all retro games are baby shit in comparison.
Why don't mods delete these trash screenshot threads?
>>722475727Right? A perfectly good Silent Hill f thread died for this.
>>722472423As a zoomer that plays more older games then newer games I do it for a variety of reasons but the 3 mains ones are>Cause it’s cheaper than paying $105 aussie bucks just to play some unfinished, poorly optimised slop. >Massive games catalogue so you’re never really starved for choice.>Older games genuinely can stand up against newer games and at times can be more mechanically interesting since it seems like devs actually gave a shit about making cool and fun games as opposed to dedicating all their efforts to simulating skin pores and horse cock technology to trick normies into buying their games cause of how “advanced” they are.I’ve had more fun playing random AA games from 18 years ago then I have proper AAA releases for probably the last 3 years, it’s been great. Everyone should take the retro pill so sales drop and all the fucking suit grifters go away and gaming can return to being good again.
>>722475630for some reason I now have a craving to get 3DS games, even though I thought 3DS was a disappointment for the last 10 years, too bad the games cost around $100 now.
>>722475465>Also you can find used but still in good condition stuff in a lot of thrift shopsNot vidya, everyone and their mom wants to make a killing online. Whatever gets donated to these shops never reaches the sales floor unless its a sports game or third party accessory.Not even yard sales are safe. Found an original Playstation, asked how much and I shit you not the guy said "Lemme check ebay" and opened the app to show me the prices
>>722472423Because new games are just propaganda tools, filled slop
