I used to be a passionate gamer, and I often find myself nostalgic for the golden era of video games when there were new ideas popping left and right.

Now, it feels like we’re caught between long-delayed triple-A titles and a constant stream of indie platformers. Originality seems to have taken a backseat, with many games regurgitating the same concepts.

What do you think defined the golden era of gaming? Are we currently in a rut, or is there a chance for fresh ideas to emerge again?

    The best moment is now, we’re in a Indie Game Renaissance, indie games that start at nothing and become worldwide household names, pretty much one after another.

    Yeah, Triple A is fucked, but the old ways need to die so that the new path can be forged
