I can agree with that. Now, we can get back to the difference in retro vs modern.
We have already established that older games require nothing more than skill and a couple of controllers. Maybe a little luck every now and then.
My argument is that retro games are superior, for said reasons. Do you find it cheesy and slightly oppressive that most modern games can be dominated by who has a bigger wallet?
Even games like Fortnite, have shown that even though you can't buy your power, the people who spend more money always have better "luck" with powerful weapons finds. That to me is still playing with your wallet, and allows richer players oppress the poorer players with more money, not skill.
Oppression in anything is disgusting. Being oppressed in a video game is beyond comprehension. It's a game. Games are meant to be fun, and test rivals skills on a level playing field.
When it gets to this point, is it still a game, and is it still fun?
