Why do they get worried by something like this?

Because videogames are a speculative bubble and have been since the 90s.
It's like telling NFT retards that most people still right-click save jpegs.

Ah yes "they", the "mainstream media" of Time Extesion's Twitter account, the Jewish establishment represented in this Twitter screenshot, truly a good snapshot of a global conspiracy against normal people.
You see, it's important to have this discussion because it's about a global trend pushed by the élites, and not, like someone may say, a "retarded twitter screenshot thread focusing on some fucking nobody", no, no, this opinion you hear once in your entire life in a niche of the internet is the "mainstream"!

OP here, fucking funny "they" is automatically associated with jews lel.
I just meant they as in the people who published that, but I guess jews work, too.

imagine being this mad while at the same time defending world elites

Because you aren't consuming product and getting excited for next products. Line must always go up.

Retro has become the Pandora's box bbc of gaming in recent years. Development costs are through the roof these days. Meanwhile you can download a 10mb rom in 3 seconds and have something awesome to keep your attention for untold hours. It's a big threat to modern video games if this catches on. Once you have acclimated, and can play dragon warrior for 20 hours after spending zero minutes downloading it, you don't go back to spending 80 bucks for Mario kart 27

Aren't most of the games people play on modern systems retro anyway? This or that collection, this or that remaster.
I think what they are scared of is people actually holding on to real retro (pre-2000) consoles. Like actually still owning a Super Nintendo in 2025. It must be the equivalent of an eldritch horror to corpos.

If they play old game, they don't play new slop. It's that shrimple.

Most of my gaming is 5th gen and back with some PS2 stuff mixed in. I play on real hardware with flash carts or ODEs

what isn't?

why is your super nintendo coloured like a tranny flag?

>>716396512
It's a super famicom, the japanese super nintendo. Why do trannies live inside your head 24/7 and you see them everywhere?

>>716398858
Reverse my post, I fumbled. It's the US one. Europe had the famicom model but named super nintendo.

This bit of retardation doesn’t really work when your own region’s console colors are 4 of the 6 pride colors and looks like an actual toddler’s building block toys, my third world friend.

It’s like 1984. They want no record of the fact vidya used to not be DEI ridden Indian slip.

There doesn't seem to be any concern though?

Ignoring OP's picture since it's kinda irrelevant, media companies in general absolutely hate it when people consume older media instead of buying the newest shit.
They do this either to get you to buy the new shit, or to get you to stop comparing classics to whatever shit they're putting out these days.

Nintendo in particular has been absolutely shitter-shattered over people playing retro games, but it applies to a bunch of companies.
It's why half the news reports about people rewatching older movies or interviewing someone that only plays retro games ends up sounding a bit like they're framing them as a weirdo, an outcast, an outlier.
This kinda ends up expanding to the point where the normalfags start thinking the same thing, like, they get confused when you mention you like the old Lilo & Stitch movie over the new one, or that you like the original trilogy of Star Wars over the new trilogy.
Now, streaming services and subscriptions are king, so companies are even more incentivized to get people to stop enjoying old shit, and that kinda shows.

Indicator of a decline of video game quality. It's kinda bad ay.
Like you compare FF6 to FF16 and FF16 SUCKS.

What gets me is that these retro games could have been sold time and time again and they didn't do this. Instead they killed them because they were harming the image of their modern games because their modern games can't compete.
Clearly kids were playing shit like OoT and MM and were also agreeing they were better than modern Zelda titles.

And they can't compete with them because of things like parental guidance ratings. It literally fucked Twilight Princess from memory and butchered it a little bit. It was going to be much darker.
