Video Games Thread

It looks alright. I'm more and more interested in vintage video gaming as days go by, though. The push to abandon physical media (especially by X-Box) and the proliferation of microtransactions is really turning me off.

I'll probably still pick up a Nintendo Switch when it gets closer to the end of its life, but likely won't be picking up any next gen gaming systems.

Terraonion has released some really good hardware that you can attach to your disc-based vintage gaming systems (Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, and soon the PS1) that will allow you to play the system's entire library off original hardware without the use of discs or soldering of any kind. Along with the EverDrive (hardware for cartridge-based consoles), this will allow gamers to play a system's entire library for cheap with actual, original hardware.

To me, that's the future of gaming, at least for me. That's where I want to spend my money. I'm no longer interested in putting money into the pockets of companies that actively loathe their customers.
