💨 Abstract
The author reflects on the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga and the evolution of video games. They note that younger generations prefer mobile and live-service games over traditional ones, leading to a decline in interest for classic console gaming. The author laments the loss of variety in game development, with many beloved franchises and developers no longer active. They also criticize modern games for prioritizing cosmetic DLC over innovation and worry that the gaming industry is becoming too risk-averse.
