/vr/ - Retro Games

My two cents:

The pinned post is dated to 2014. I couldn't say when /vr/ specifically splintered out of /v/, but in any case this board has been going for a while with a relatively unbudging definition of retro games. Well, in the space of 5 years, it stands to reason a board that, at the time considered 2000 and the Dreamcast it's cutoff could stand to bump up 5 years and start calling "NOT RETRO" on stuff past 2005 instead of 2000. This would make for more varied discussion by broadening things a little while not suddenly opening the floodgates to all sorts of stuff that doesn't need to be there. I mean come on, compare a cutting edge game from 2005 to what we have now in nearly 2020. I think that would be a decent rule of thumb to follow instead of this perpetual bickering between the gen5 purists and people wanting to talk about clunky early gen6. I sincerely doubt we'll see any change in the ratio of shit threads to gems.
