And could i get by without mentioning the indie industry? Because holy fuck, is it a Godsend. There are options for every single niche taste in existence now, and very oftenly they are going to be magnitudes more polished than a singular, hard-earned diamond you mined out of a past gen catalogue.
If past me knew Siralim Ultimate is a game that would come into existence, my tiny brain would have retracted into a black hole. There are games so finely-tuned to their audiences it seems to me like they are made specifically for autists. Looking at you, Lobotomy Corp.

Modern gaming doesn't mean swallowing whatever the big names crap out and vomiting stale outrage on /v, it means using the massive swathe of tools, content and the lingering enthusiasts available to your favor.

Those that keep getting burned by the industry and pretend it's the fault of any specific company or group of people ought to value their time and money more, and let other idiots take the fall on their place and learn from their mistakes. They aren't victims of a grand conspiracy or shift on the industry, they are self-flagellants complaining about the pain, and i have zero sympathy for them.
Those that hide behind rose-colored glasses and act like any promised grand age of games has been taken from them are ignoring the previleges they have now, and how unfeasible and expensive it would have been to access all the games they have. Sure, you can name 50-something titles better than anything that came out over the last gen, but these games are not going anywhere, you can play them any time you want via an emulator. They are not going anywhere. Want an authentic retro gaming experience? Go blow on some cartridges you fucking zoomer.

tl;dr - Shut up and go play some Fightcade
