itโs here. the new half-life. the new breath of the wild. the new elden ring. the new sistine chapel ceiling. the new invention of fire.
historians will now divide games into two eras: before mixtape and after mixtape.
every game developer on earth just fell to their knees in a gamestop. kojima is deleting his notes. miyamoto is staring silently at a cassette player. gaben has delayed half-life 3 another decade out of respect.
i used to think games needed systems, mechanics, challenge, worlds, ideas. turns out all you need is licensed indie music, wistful teenagers, and 47 outlets simultaneously discovering nostalgia.
10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10.
the medium is over. we found it. pack it up.
