I miss it when companies would take potshots at each other claiming that their piece of plastic computers had better software and hardware than their competitors. It was back when they were forced to one-up each other, and repeatedly make games designed solely to insult the competition.

I don't like it how weak and "friendly" the industry became. It meant Microsoft surrendered when they became "too friendly" and scared of exclusives, everybody hating Sony's movie games where their biggest game this generation just so happened to be the ONE exclusive that wasn't a movie game that caught everyone off guard, and Nintendo is just playing it safe with absolutely nothing new to the table, since they backed out of making a dedicated handheld and console, meaning that handheld gaming PCs are the only real handheld devices anymore, all due to the decentralization of PC gaming.

I just want the good old days back. When everyone started playing "nice", it died, and will continue to die even further, as companies pander to easily offended SJWs who infiltrated the industry.

If a gaming crash happens, what I want emerged from it is active hostility from whoever the new console manufacturers are, even if it's all fabricated business and advertising fluff. It was more fun that way.

I'm not reading all that

Exclusives are anti-consumer cancer forcing you to buy tons of expensive boxes in order to play them. Multiplats are a godsend, in an ideal world you would be able to play any game on any box.

That worked wonders for the Xbox brand, now did it?

Fuck brands, did you care about which brand of blueray player you used to watch movies? Do you like the new streaming ecosystem with 50 different streaming services all with their own movies and shows? That shit only exists to siphon money out of your pocket, the only thing that matters are the games.

Consoles are just PCs at this point.

I miss it when they were fundamentally different on a hardware level.

lol im begging. on my hands and knees literally begging to know why on earth every techlet thinks this this is some big own. it's a nonsensical statement. it means nothing. yet you guys love to say it.

It means that you can run any game on any system because they're using the same architecture techlet
