Topic: How come platformers died?

Cuphead is a recent exception, but it seems like old time video games may never return since most games tend to be interactive movies anyway. Something tells me that game journalists are to blame here. They dictated where the industry goes because people think that just because they are journalists they can be trusted with what is considered good.

what, you can still play them

you don't need new ones that often-- how many new Picasso paintings do you need
there's so many, you'll forget the ones you saw first by the time you finish

Probably, it’s common for super market employees to mess around on their phones during their breaks. But I hope he’s talking to his co-workers too.
