Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better? (beehaw.org)

Less DRM, smaller filesizes, no stupid anticheat, and no always online bs. Anyone agree with me?

Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur's Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today's climate.

On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don't know. Amazing games still exists, it's just not really comparable.
