Classic videogames has been switched for "mobile games", For example CoC or Clash Royale generates more revenue monthly than the total sales of many AAA games. The same way Movies/DVDs/Blurays has been switched over Netflix and similar streaming services.

Now everything is internet.

Social Media such as Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat is what normies do in their free time.

Also Piracy exist so people don't need to buy anything. Me included. I don't read comics, I don't remember the last time I went to the movie theater, I really don't play vidya , nor do I read books and I could just download any album for free.

There's so much shit to fill your time with dude. Especially since you have the internet to access so much info and content. I dropped video games and most of that shit. I just TV or movies once in awhile now. And that's my time waster.

>>87356764
You're just simply wrong on all accounts. There is a big classic gaming renaissance with the reboot of the isometric frog genre and the explosion of indie platform era and rogue likes. Triple A games, mmos, and call of duty remakes are tapering down. Its a good era. Sure maybe there is some game you will bring up that you don't like but the fact of the matter is your broad stroke depiction of gaming today is wrong.

Literature and Music both benefit from the evening of playing field away from massive production values and marketing shit.

Sounds like you're unable to read properly. Stop acting like a hipster and pay attention to the words.

Hollywood puts out a +100mil. Blockbuster once a week during summer season (summer now starts at the end of february all the way to August and makes a quick comeback in December) and they wonder why nobody's watching their movie.

Pretty sure more people than ever go to the cinema but when you start putting out Blockbusters so soon in the year, don't be surprised when people aren't going in August.

People didn't stop reading comics, playing games, and watching movies. They definitely are and in possibly higher numbers.

They just stopped paying for it.

Everything went downhill the moment highspeed internet became readily available. Then people could just download a movie instead of paying $14 a ticket in theaters. Stream shows instead of bothering with a tv or cable provider. And pirate a game because it's only like 3-4 hours of entertainment anyway and that is not worth $60 at all.

Between that, streaming hours and hours of anime or reading fan translated, free to read manga.

The industry trying to get money for it all is dying but the content is definitely reaching the masses every minute of the day.

podcasts, youtube, and streaming have taken over for casual tv watching and radio. same for gaming in some cases

literature might be stagnating, but there are more non-fiction works than ever before. the quality of literature may have been diminished by self publishing and cheap e-book publishing, but it's been great for non-fiction since the biggest barrier was the cost of publishing and not the quality (unlike with most fiction where publishers would give anyone a contract because they needed a large quantity to fill in the void of quality works)

Is he stuck in 2008?

nope. Gaijin are bad at making arcade racer. Play Crazy Taxi, Sega Rally, Daytona or FZero GX instead to experience superior nippon gameplay.

Afrocentricism has been fully implemented and there is nothing inherently interesting for the Caucasians of the west to latch on to.

Recc your favorite pre 2003 games, quick. Top 3 if you can, count games in a series as one.

Age of Empires II
Blood

Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver, Spyro, MGS, Fear Effect, Silent Hill, Medievil, Perfect Dark...

How many more do you want?
