I grew up with all generations, and played every game when it was new. AMA

when I was young I played everything and anything. Now I only play certain and very specific games.

This is a shallow, but somewhat true observation that misses the mark. Conservatism increases as we age for a variety of reasons. First and most prominently is the way our brains learn, we learn to do something one way and our brains lock that in, and overwriting it can be extremely difficult. Cognitive dissonance can even make it PHYSICALLY PAINFUL to change your mind about something.

Additionally, people have traditionally become more conservative because they have more, and have more to lose, and have a greater stake in the state of matters as-they-are. How this relates to wealth is - if you have nothing, and gain nothing, there is less reason for you to be conservative. Tie this to the general decrease in the uptick in personal wealth correlated to production (more people aren't making more money to coincide with the increase in wealth, overall) and it stands to reason that a less successful generation will have less incentive to be and therefore less inclination to be conservative.

Anyway to answer your fucking question, yeah - I used to be able to bury myself in JRPG's for hours on end, now my autism has shifted focus to 4x games. I also have less time over all to play, and will often feel too tired to get involved in games, so i'm choosier about what I play when.

No, not really. I kind of stopped gaming after comeptitive CS died in 2010.. and now I'm back playing Valorant. I literally just play Diablo 2 and CS still, even at 27.

Opinion: worthless.

Not really. I keep coming back to the things I like. City Builders and 4x games. The thing that changed is I'm playing increasingly more complex games.

Of course but thats because games change, not my taste in them. Playing Spyro remake was the most fun I had in years

Taste not really, but I don't enjoy it as much anymore and I play a lot less since I'm too tired most of the time.
