"But yeah, 1998 was an insane year. RE2, Banjo-Kazooie, Zelda OoT, MGS, Gran Turismo, Crash 3, Spyro, Fallout 2, Half-Life, FF Tactics, Pokemon R/B, Xenogears, Suikoden II, Starcraft, Baldur's Gate and on and on and on. At least three of my favourite games of all time came out that year."
19 years later, and 2017's video game industry is still endlessly recycling the ideas from those games. No wonder so many people don't find the hobby very satisfying anymore.
