With digital circus coming out recently I realised the 2000s game aesthetic can actually be kinda cool and endearing
It feels like games nowdays are kinda soulless and generic though, glossy and modern (Obviously except for indie games)
Will the 2020s aesthetic be microtransactions and lootboxes?
We are nostalgic of the best games or the things we played most. Nobody remembers all the shit shovelware that was as ubiquitous as today’s cashgrabs.
In 20 years people will remember BG3, Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight… And even if they remember Overwatch or Destiny 2, they’ll remember the good parts and the aesthetics, not the storefronts and lootboxes.
On a side note I never thought I’d be nostalgic for overwatch lootboxes. They somehow made it even worse
