EDIT: forgot to add the word "Which" to the front of my thread title! Can a mod please help fix
This whole PS5 "generations" talk has me thinking about stuff that is seemingly big right now but is so clearly going to just disappear into the ether. If they had back tracked during the pre-release hype it would be remembered like XB1 DRM. But because it was said post-launch? Not a single person will remember it 5 years from now.
I was playing on the Asian Rainbow Six servers a few years ago and was amazed at how many Japanese players there were. Conventional knowledge is that FPS games simply do not sell at all in Japan...
...conventional knowledge from 20-25 years ago. Holy shit I'm out of touch. That hit me hard just how out of touch I was. If you told this "fact" to a gamer today they'd have no knowledge of it. Most people my age probably don't even remember when this was common industry knowledge.
I remember all the controversies from each of the generations that are almost so faint that I sometimes wonder if they're distant memories or figments of my imagination.
What facts, news and controversies today do you think will fade into the mists of time? So far I don't see a single one that will last.
