what a weird ass article that really says and accomplishes nothing

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It really is. I would go as far as to call it a clickbait article. The title is intriguing but the only addition to the statement is that that the era is over because every game doesn't need to release with something new. And that's essentially the whole article as the rest is just filler.

I am pretty sure the "every game doesn't need something new" era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.

The guy is in old man mode.

That’s some arrogant bullshit. Guy hasn’t invented a new mechanic in 10 years so it must mean every game has already been invented.

Imagine a washed up author trying to argue there are no new stories to tell.
