“The consumer doesn’t really know what to buy for their computer,” Garriott said in 1989, while also pointing to the popularity of Nintendo’s newfangled game console.
I remember back in the early-mid 90s I said to a friend ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we had every video game ever made?’ To which he replied, ‘true, but what’s the point if we cannot play them all? I mean you’ll never have the time’.
Since then the number of games have exploded, but even if you froze the clock in 1995 there were already so many games that you spend all your life playing them and not be finished.
I remember reading somewhere that there are officially more PC games being released than there are players to play them. Of course, if one is talking about the amount of quality games being released, then the number shrinks very fast.

At this point I have a backlog of good games that would take a lifetime to play through. If you want my money and attention you’ve got a lot of heavyweight classics to beat
Same, but with mods for an even thinner selection of really good games.
I’ve come to the same conclusion. And it just seems like every game that comes out is just a re-skinned version of some other popular game with nothing really new to bring to the table, anyway.
looks at Steam😭
