I guess I’m just having trouble parsing it, no worries

Sorry it wasn’t clear. I’m saying that the monetization stuff is so bad, that young people who would otherwise be put off by the retro graphics in a lot of these games, are willing to look past them.

That makes sense! Sorry for jumping on you there. Lately just gotten a little tired of how much people say graphics don’t matter when it’s a cornerstone of a video game. I like big, bad visuals. The opening to final fantasy 8 for instance still takes my breath away as much as it did when it came out because I can remember how revolutionary the visuals were.

I totally get you’re not saying that now, just musing lol
