Will the generation growing up on modern games have any nostalgic aesthetic? (lemm.ee)

With digital circus coming out recently I realised the 2000s game aesthetic can actually be kinda cool and endearing

It feels like games nowdays are kinda soulless and generic though, glossy and modern (Obviously except for indie games)

Will the 2020s aesthetic be microtransactions and lootboxes?

In my experience nostalgia is about the memories around the item as much as the item itself.

When I think about the SNES I think about playing it with my older brother more than specific games.

But also the same with games. I remember mario fondly not because the graphics were great but my brother helping me with tricky levels and showing me tricks to get past bits.
