Game Industry Going Downhill?

Were the games actually better? Well, no, of course not. I may be nostalgic, but I’m not stupid. Today’s technologically superior, multi-million dollar monstrosities are, in almost every way, superior to anything that even the most creative guy could do in his basement on an old TI. But, without the full spectrum of gaming to be measured against, the games of the day really did more to inspire and amaze on a more regular basis than today’s demographic targeted, designed by committee with corporate oversight games.

This is something I ponder over quite often. Even before the turn of the century, games seemed to have a much higher level of quality. Now, games are being churned out at the fastest rate possible. You might disagree with the author, but he makes a few good points.
