I’m thinking about the AVGN and how Nintendo makes you pay to play shitty emulator games from like 50 years ago.

Especially for the very old games like atari lol

    This falls in line pretty closely with my take.

    Anytime a game falls into the experimental new tech era (PS1 and N64 3D graphics being one, "first generation" VR games being another more recent example), I find that these systems have considerably less titles I'm interested in playing because they're usually less-refined or leaning harder into the technology's "gimmick" appeal rather than delivering a good game.

    For consoles where they were basically revisions/evolutions of tech (SNES/Genesis for 2D, PS2 and onwards for 3D, generation TBD for VR) I can find a lot more of the library that interests me.
