Old school games enjoyer: “Games used to be awesome… modern games are garbage”

Most modern games are garbage though.
Always online, drm/denuvo, kernel anticheat, micro-transactions, loot boxes, using AI upscaling and framegen instead of caring about optimisation, TAA smearing...

I honestly believe AAA gaming peaked somewhere around the end of the 360/ps3 era.

Indie games are still great though.
