I will never forgive the gaming executives for killing couch co-op. We have never had better TV's and monitors in history and it's shame I can't share the space with the homies. Inviting people over for a game session ought to be a normal way for grown-ups to kick it in the modern age, but no. We all gotta hop on Discord and pretend to be together rather than just actually being together.
Exactly dude! It has never made more sense to have split-screen/same screen co-op games. Shooters, beat 'em ups, Platformers, party games whatever (also lots of great accessibility features for those who need them), we finally have enough screen space to do really co-op properly and we all gotta just get in VOIP. Ugh, this future sucks man.
It disturbs me that all this advanced technology is being used to make game experiences worse.
Goldeneye 64 is primitive by today's standards, but was a very fun couch game, but now something much more sophisticated is just about expected to involve complete strangers screaming slurs on voicechat.

Right, exactly, we played split screen on the smallest tvs. Text was often reduced to tiny blobs. We still had fun.
Now food prices are unreal but a huge high def tv costs 300 dollars and where are my fun co-op games? All online
