@root Gameboy being retro… sure, but Wii, Xbox360, PS3?, … please no :(
@xianc78 @lanodan @root Sometimes it just feels like if something has to be made in the previous century to be considered "retro", otherwise it will never be retro.
@lanodan @xianc78 @root @ryo I just decided to stop labeling stuff as 'retro' and go with what I like to play with :blobcatgooglyshrug:
@Polychrome @xianc78 @root @lanodan The "retro" label is actually pretty useful these days.
All it means to me is that it has guaranteed no communist wokeness and no soycialist bullcrap like lootboxes, micro transactions, paid DLC, always online, and all the rest of the bloat inserted into it.

And yes, I don't consider those things to be capitalist, because capitalism relies on customers paying for quality on a voluntary basis (you pay and it's yours, you do with it whatever you want).
Soycialism on the other hand relies on stealing your money and scamming your wallet dry, even after you already bought it, regardless of how low quality the product is, which is exactly what all the current year bloat is.

@ryo @root @Polychrome @lanodan Video games were never capitalist. Real capitalism has no copyright, trademarks, or patents.

@xianc78 @root @Polychrome @lanodan The AAA devs of today used to be indies in their early days.
But then they got investor (BlackCock and/or VanGuard) money, and went to shit ever since.
