whenever i think of what the western vidya industry has become over the past 20 or so years, i immediately become depressed and stop playing vidya for a few weeks

Why? Asian games are better. Don't feel down when the people making western games want you dead.

Then stop.
Get PCEM or dosbox and go enjoy all the good shit they did before buying everything.

Wow I play only japanese games so I really don't care but don't be depressed frog friend. There are always older games to play.

Understandable.

Japan and the US produced the same number of good companies.
However, US being a cuckland from hell allowed the companies to just buy each other, and as a end result, most good studios only did 1-2 games then got bought out, gutted and disbanded by EA or Microsoft.
This does happen with japanese companies as well such as the retarded case of square enix, but companies just last longer unbought in japan.

So you were enjoying yourself, hallucinated the games you enjoyed being bad and are complaining about it to us?

how did you get that from what i said?

Games are terrible now but I got to grow up during the golden age where every year had better graphics and better games, it was fun.

To stop playing video games implies you were playing them
So you were enjoying yourself playing a game, hallucinated the notion that it was secretly bad and stopped playing
