If retro-games are so good how come video game addiction is more prevalent now than it was in the past?

They're not as good. Retro games aren't about quality. They're about nostalgia. Playing them is a way for us oldfags to escape real life and take a time machine back to our childhoods where current day problems don't exit. You might think it's sad but for us it's the only thing we can do to cope.

Because the industry is bigger now than it was in the past. Simple as that.

>just nostalgia
depends on the genre desu. Maybe that's true for jrpgs or racing games? I dunno.

The best run n guns, beat em ups, and shoot em ups are retro tier. What has come out recently pales in comparison to the past.

Are you all really just a bunch retarded manchildren obsessed with replaying games from your childhood over and over? Fuck's sake this is disgusting.
