When did the golden age of gaming start and end?

>Start
1989, it didn't have much of an impact on suicide rates yet because video games were still sort of a niche hobby until a few years later
>End
2008, you can already see the rates starting to tick up by then

Zoomers in Nepal retaliated against the country's social media ban by burning down the parliment building, several private properties of their ruling class and yes, killing about 20 politicians or family members in the process like it's the french revolution.
You read that right, there was a coup caused by zoomers being banned from instagram. No, I'm not paraphrasing.

2007 was the last good year for games

Consider:
>TBC was the last innovative WoW expansion, each expansion since has just been repetitive slop
>CoD 4 was the last innovative CoD, each game since has just been repetitive slop

You can apply this to probably 99% of games in a series. Don't believe me? Go and check yourself, you'll realise that 2008 was the year games just became formulaic and it's been that way ever since.

The year 2000 due to 6th gen consoles and the DMCA.
Rather than continuing gaming with personal computers, the industry decided to go hard on consoles, because they appeared to have a larger and more captive audience. This ended up rapidly ruining games, because they were intentionally being kept from progressing to what computers were capable of at the time.
The silver age continues for a while until 2007-ish, but after that the decline is devastating and rapid.

Guns are also part of the problem. There was an "assault weapons" ban in 1994. As the years have passed, people just made and bought other guns to get around it, and now they are just as accessible to teens as they were before 1994. Other suicides have also increased, so it isn't just a gun thing, but having them available to kids is a big part. Non-gun suicides tend to fail or be prevented. Gun suicides tend to succeed on the first attempt.

they didn't ban social media. they banned western propaganda outlets, which of course is a big no-no for glowies, so they activated their regime change assets. all of these groups are funded by NED, its subsidiaries, or others associated with CIA activities.

a similar thing happened in Georgia (the country, see protests) when they passed laws banning or requiring the disclosure of foreign funds that media companies were taking. they also passed laws similar to those in the US which require foreign agents to register. of course the king of hypocrites didn't like this at all since it would expose all the influence ops they were doing in the country. you'll notice that this rash of color revolution preludes suddenly happened in countries around russia and china after it became clear that nato and trump are losing the real/trade wars. you'll notice that the protest leaders always speak pretty good english.

to the extent that groups in any country can and will have legitimate grievances with their governance, the answer is never to set fire to your own country, just as it was not to storm the capitol building on jan 6. but even the capitol rioters didn't set the place on fire. the last time that happened was when the british did it in the war of 1812. the degree to which people are willing to destroy their own country is a function of how much money they are receiving from outside of it.

then the era of casualization of games came in and it all went to shit because games ware full of them. games ware made for them and increasingly by them.
or... 2007 economical crisis that broke peoples lives and games could no longer provide enough respite from the dark reality we live in.
