    The world needs more good games.

    Does it? I feel like we’re flush. My Steam queue already has a dozen more games than I’d ever have time to play.

      Of course it does. Art is the medium through which we process and communicate our most complicated emotions. As the world continues to change, more and more art will have the power to affect us positively

        Art is the medium through which we process and communicate our most complicated emotions.

        Listen, I’m not saying we don’t need the odd new DeltaRune or Blue Prince. But the sheer volume of new mass market games seems to have eclipsed the real overall demand some time ago.

        If you’re constantly obsessed with the New Title, you lose sight of the vintage classics. You never have a chance to pick up an old Atari game from the 70s or try some SNES banger from the 90s or even a PS3 classic from the 10s if you’ve glued yourself to the New Releases queue.

        Maybe people have emotions worth communing with that are more than a year old.
