6th gen will be retro once the final current retro game turns 20 years old.

So come back in 2024 and we'll talk.

I think it's time we amend the rules
Or 10 years from now in 2029 are we still going to stick with "anything after 1999 isn't retro" like a bunch of retarded autists?

I think they cut after they stopped making the console.

Dreamcast production stopped in 2001.

GameCube 2007, PS2 2013, Xbox 2009... so maybe GC is retro now?

right, which is why rather than it being the boomer childhood board, it should be about retro games, which 6th gen falls under, at least by the same metrics which other generations were decided to be retro

even /r/retrogaming disagrees, you're literally worse than a redditor.

>> No.5359775

I would say at this point you could considering them as retro, gen 8 probably only has 2-3 years left max (depending on how quickly the switch is replaced)

ps2 can be discussed on /v/, c64 can't (it can barely be discussed here).

problem is, you don't just want to discuss games. you also want them to enjoy some special elevated status.

Nice boogeymen, but /vr/ is just the pre-2000 board, not anyone's childhood board.
You got it all wrong. You're jealous for the wrong reasons.
