Much like music and film the gaming industry became overly corporate and ran by suits rather than creatives creating a culture where "mature" means "realistic" and "edgy" means what a Pepsi CEO thinks of it like tribal tattoos and raprock, I know zoomers are going to be mad because this is the only era they can claim "nostalgia" for but it was objectively badThe early 90s was just the peak of creativity and aesthetics.
1998 and 2004 were the two best years gaming ever had

>>12547292>The early 90s was just the peak of creativity and aesthetics.Are you too underage to remember the 'TUDE trend in the early 90's where everyone wanted to create their own shitty janky mascot sidescrollers to cash in on Sonic? That was basically the slop of the 4th gen.
