This nostalgia is the most pervasive kind, not being just about “wasn’t that fun?”

But one that is so self-absorbed and alienating that it fully misrepresents a fucking industry, to a deluded, consumer-driven fantasy

Fuck nostalgia, and fuck that.

Does that take away the quality or the passion involved? Of course not!

But to say “gaming was sacred” is beyond childish, it’s fetishistic and alienating.

Also… what about those devs? Their histories, *their* passion, isn’t that more important than yours as just a consumer?
