post-US crash gaming should've stayed niche. Madden, FIFA, and CoD have
you know the thing.
That's why it's fun to go back and look at pdfs of old gaming magazines from the 80s and early to mid 90s, it really was quite a niche subculture. You'd have these small 5-10 developer teams making just the oddest, but fantastic games that you only ever see in indie games rarely nowadays (itch.io is a fun place to go for those kinds of weird, off the wall games these days). Once the Playstation/N64 era took off gaming just getting progressively bigger and aiming for the lowest-common denominator of players. I still game but rarely ever big AAA games, mostly its retro games/hacks on emulators and indie games.
