kill yourself if this is "old games are better"

I agree with your argument but it can be reduced to "old good new bad", I thought we agreed that dimensionality reduction was a good thing.

"good vs bad" is a moral argument that I don't really care about
I totally agree, expanding storage medium caused a lot of downfalls in game design.
it is moreso computational complexity, size of state spaces, etc.
compare the strength of computing hardware (processing speed, storage space) and the amount of "state space" in games over that period.
one exponentially rises, the other not so much?
there is also the ethos of "true freedom is achieved via limitation" (in the spirit of christianity) applied to design philosophy
everything in the "post-scarcity world" (lol The Twilight of Empire | Ecosophia) is just ■■■ and awufl.
I agree
Tetris was post scarcity but honestly. It's mega based.
I was thinking about a tetris game rather than rotating the tile you rotate the board.
I was thinking of homosexual intercourse but rather than rotating the penis you rotate the anus
Youre not supposed to rotate the penis
I was thinknig of an OSU game but instead of clicking the circles you gather 40 people in a party and fight Lava Monsters And Orcs

Unfortunately Jones the consumers decided that NBA2K and Call of Duty were worth more than complexity. It's evil that goes beyond your arguments, but you're technically not wrong.
I was thinking of a dota game but instead of denying creeps you just don't.
(see: League of legends, laning with nmagane)
I had 20 denies in my last core game.

Basically all I wanted to get at is that everyone who's ended up on this website already agrees with you, but the general consumer for games decided long ago that the time for advancement in game complexity and "state spaces" is over.
Like we discussed in TS a few days ago, you have a lot more faith in the consumer than I do, I suppose.
