MODERATORS
Because games weren't as shitty back then lmao. Compared with gacha bullshit and aggressive microtransaction, some forgettable platformer with an intellectual property awkwardly shoehorned in is nothing.
The cries of nostalgia is vastly overrated. How would zoomers possibly be nostalgic about something that they've never experienced before? It reminds me of how millennial defenders of modern Simpsons would constantly accuse millennial classic Simpsons enjoyers of being blinded of nostalgia. Then the zoomers grew up and started watching the Simpsons as well and not only vindicated the millennial classic Simpsons enjoyers but are even stricter about what counts as classic Simpsons than the millennials were.
Tbf, many people are nostalgic for things they've never experienced. That's a pretty normal thing
modern "Simpsons" defenders will be sent to gulag
