[P] I keep noticing an entertaining divide in Gen Z/Alpha gamers. The extroverts are all playing the usual microtransaction-laden multiplayer tosh, but many young introverts seem to be playing old games! 16- and 32-bits alike, all platforms. I get why, it makes sense. I mean, single-player games don't exist much anymore outside of indies, and everything now is so damn expensive. The "What is a video game??" era is far too compelling to ignore.
