    It’s just like old music. People have been making music since the dawn of time, and the ratio of good to shit music was relatively constant. The only thing is, shit music tends to be forgotten over time, whereas the greats still survive.

    People that are into old music, regardless of the period, are almost by definition listening to a curated bunch of greatest hits. Ditto for retro gaming: the by-the-numbers, derivative or unplayable crap is long forgotten.

      Yeah theres soooo many really awesome new games that are getting me excited, none of them are from big name publishers. And I’m an old crab that hates new things. But I recognize good quality.

      One of them is Snaptic. Mind blowingly good and its only a demo so far.
