How do you feel knowing that most classic video game developers are either retired or dead now?
I'm sure they had a good life.

That's the passage of time. John Moses Browning was a brilliant and creative inventor, and he died a lifetime before I was even born, but I can still marvel at his ideas and accomplishments, and the marks he made on the world which are still felt today.There are many game devs who I admire, and they aren't in the gig anymore, somber in a way, but they have their own paths in life, and I can just the same still admire the work they did. When they pass, I do feel sad, but I am not broken, because I was fortunate enough that they happened in my lifetime and I got to appreciate their craft.
Everybody dies - soon there will be no one left who remembers when Emperor Miyamoto signed the peace treaty on the USS Enterprise, ending WWI after the battle of Ghettysburg
It's only sobering knowing that the spineless impostors who took their place can never fill those boots.
Every single dev who's never stopped being active since the 80's/90's has absolutely shit takes on video games. And of course they do, they believe that newer=better or else they'd be doing something else, or at least tell themselves that as a cope for the shit job that modern gaming is.
As for those that make a comeback, it's usually some sort of nostalgia bait low effort like the '''remasters'''.So it's actually better that they stopped so that they wouldn't tarnish their work with the taint of modern gaming.
>>12127446nothing. most of their games sucked anyway. its not really a meaningful loss, unlike all the classic anime artists who worked with cels and film. their unique expertise will disappear with them and never return
The medium peaked 25 years ago and has been in the state of mediocrity but also somehow getting worse every year just like film, music and especially literature.
Its better to have a short run but be fondly remembered compared to living forever but have your integrity decay.
>>12127446grateful
Kuso thread
>>12127575Great mentality.
Nothing really, my favourite play writers died 350 years ago, my favourite painters died 200 years ago, my favourite musicians died 150 years ago, my favourite writers died 30 years ago and my favourite film marker's died 15 years ago.
>>12127446>How do you feel knowing that this artist will either retire or die in the future?
Dont worry soon everything will be made by the immortal AI
>>12127446i don't really care. if anything nothing of value is really lost as these old fucks adapt to what's trendy today (see Kojima. fuck Kojima fuck Death Stranding). i'm just glad there is fresh blood to keep the hobby alive. but at the same time vidya literally peaked with the PS1 and 95% what came after is complete garbage and mostly misses the point of a video game. i bought 5 games this year and not a single one of them was as fun as the ps1 games i replayed in the same year
>>12127446Suits me, I'm retired from gaming. Only reason I post here is to thwart zoomer attempts to falsify the history of this illustrious hobby.

Man /vr/ really is deadCan't have one fucking thread without it being shitposted as well
>>12127446idk but today i woke up and smelled the air and looked outside at these fleeting visages of beauty, surely i will not even remember a fraction of my life rn when i'm old on my deathbed. hopefully i accept my impending passage of one life lived slipping into the void..so just like, cherish the moment, y'faggots. and get off my lawn
Everyone posts as if responding to "most classic game developers are dead"When the reality is that most of them are alive (although OP is right that many are retired). We are actually very privileged that video game history is so short and we can still interview basically everyone that ever worked on them
>>12127446none of them are dead. that was the real shock - after becoming an adult, looking back at the games of childhood, seeming like these historical things, but finding out the person who made it is like 10 years older than you (??) and if realizing you worked together in an office or something they wouldn't even seem like a different generation because 10y is not like 50y like it seemed like
>>12128779>based fucktard discovers being a game dev makes you imortal
>>12128421>I'm retired from gamingCringe and try-hard. Unless you're 90 years old.
>>12128669Your thread is garbage and it would have been deleted already if the mods were doing their jobs
>>12129060if anything, 90 year olds should play vidya to keep the brainrot at bay
>>12128728Nolan Bushnell is 83...
>>12127446Either way, I envy them.
Shocking how little anons actually are on-topic and instead move to shitposting and such.
>>12129435That's an ironical post considering OP isn't on topic to begin with. The status of devs in the *current* days is past this board's rules; if he asked about the status of devs back then it might be ok
>>12129435But little anons are never on-topic, little anon.
>>12127446I listen to Mozart, I've come to terms with the fact he's dead
>>12129435Some people. Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
