Does it? I feel like we're flush. My Steam queue already has a dozen more games than I'd ever have time to play.
Of course it does. Art is the medium through which we process and communicate our most complicated emotions. As the world continues to change, more and more art will have the power to affect us positively
Listen, I'm not saying we don't need the odd new DeltaRune or Blue Prince. But the sheer volume of new mass market games seems to have eclipsed the real overall demand some time ago.
If you're constantly obsessed with the New Title, you lose sight of the vintage classics. You never have a chance to pick up an old Atari game from the 70s or try some SNES banger from the 90s or even a PS3 classic from the 10s if you've glued yourself to the New Releases queue.
Maybe people have emotions worth communing with that are more than a year old.
Im not 40, I've tried old games, I know why they aren't still relevant now, nostalgia doesn't make me like them
:-/
I'm getting a lot of confused responses in this thread.
Demand for new games will always be up, we aren't the audience, kids, teens, and new adults are. They don't feel any nostalgia for the past, they want the newest freshest coolest thing, they buy 2k, fifa, etc. every year simply because it's newz
Sounds heard shortly before an industry crashes.
I honestly forgot about how popular free to play games that keep building upon themselves and never get sequels are rnow
Okay great, so you agree with me 100%, thank you for clarifying.
Regarding “New Title” addicts who consider anything released more than one day ago to be valueless, I agree that that is nonsensical. I’m confused about why you’re bringing it to my attention, however
:-/
Amazed you're into text-heavy games when you're struggling with basic literacy.
Which specific point do we disagree on? It seems you have acknowledged the necessity of new games, and even provided specific examples. So the matter is settled, yes?
