> corporate shills maintain that new games are awesome and you just grew older and tired of them. is that true? i don't know about new games being awesome but i agree that we are just getting older. the more you experience, the less novel it becomes. it gets tired and played out. it goes from you being on an epic adventure, to you have to do the quest to collect the things to craft the epic super sword to slay the lvl 99 dragon to craft the epic rare shield to slay the evil lvl 150 ogre, etc. and you start to ask yourself: do i give a shit about this? if i get to lvl 99 in runescape will that make my life better? if beat this game on hard does that prove something to someone? well whatever, i'm just having fun. or am i? or maybe i can just do something else.  i think it's a natural progression of intelligent people to get bored of this shit and move on to better things, and if you're 30+ years old still playing religiously you're kind off a retard. btw i'm not saying i don't play myself.
