    And then we have great games, like Stardew Valley on android. But they are very few and far between this endless deluge of slop.

    It’s like back in the 80s, when games had amazing hand-drawn covers and then the graphics was just text or simple shapes, but now with gameplay.

      Those AD&D Dragonlance games from the 90s had such killer box art lol, especially for the time!

        That was different though. Nobody was expecting such graphics back then.

    It’s a shame because there’s quite a few games with big potential that could be just small fun game you pullout in the waiting room but then is riddled with ads and micro transactions and the cheapest engaging stuff they could make.
