Nostalgia is dangerous

@Ukkon-bloodsail-buccaneers

Yes you’re right. That is why FFXIV is the number 1 MMRPG in the market because people like to play old things and with nostalgia, right?

But it’s not.

Nostalgia is pretty much all gaming is surviving on at the moment. Don’t take it as an insult but it’s why we hardly get anything new worth playing anymore.

Again, because the future or current gaming isn’t good. I mean find me a game that is comparatively goodor better then GTA SA, Need for Speed Underground 2, Half Life 2, or the Tony Hawk games, or even Assassin’s Creed 2 and Skyrim. Straight up upgrades.

Heck, find me 10 games that isn’t monetized to hell back and forth like a typical AAA video game that isn’t a remaster and that it’s just a video game. All i can think of is Maneater.

@Wyrmeater-stormrage

Everyone is afraid of change and stuck in the past.

Yeah, come on people. Why don’t you play the new mediocre crap like Biomutant, Watch Dogs or any PS exclusive now? Or play one of those overly monetized mobile games on consoles like Fortnite or NBA2K21? Or play something that is beyond broken with incompetent devs like Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76, Returnal and pretty much any AAA game now? Come on, stop living in the past. Forget all about good games like GTA SA, Tony Hawk, The Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed 2, Dying Light, Destroy all Humans, Spyro, Crash, Team Fortress 2, World of Warcraft, Doom, Mafia 2, Final Fanasty, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Bully, The Last of Us 1, No More Heroes, Sonic, Mario, Zelda, and so on. This is the future man! It’s buggy released, mobile este, microtransactions riddled, mediocre non memorable games all the rage now man!! /s

Give. Me. A Break.

Stop telling people what to do with their money or how to live their lives

I believe that nostalgia is not dangerous in the minds of rational people.

I believe that nostalgia is not dangerous in the minds of rational people.

The issue is most people would think they’re the rational one.

[Tassadar-area-52]

Oh yeah I’m still so used to calling it by the placeholder name but u rite

[Wyrmeater-stormrage]

Nobody is telling/forcing you do to anything.

@Wyrmeater-stormrage

Stop living in the past and paying 2021 prices for old games.

This seems like you’re telling people to stop living in the past and paying 2021 prices for old games to me

[Gigachadx-faerlina]

I googled it for you guys.

TL;DR

Dude visits his childhood home, feels happy, then it dawns upon him based on the state of his hometown being terrible reminds him that time moves on. The story has no relevance to the success of Classic and this is just OP coping.

You can move on now GG.

It’s seems some people can’t see a suggestion when they see it.

[Baridorielor-malfurion (Baridorielor)]

No, they do see it. They see it as a demand because it is demand.No suggestion starts with “Stop doing something”, unless you’ve said “well, you can stop doing something” or say “maybe you can stop doing something”, usually after somebody told you how much they dislike something (sometimes not even that, just to negative criticism, regardless what it actually is).

[Kaurmine-area-52]

Google Nostalgia is dangerous. You will thank yourself later.

I came across an interesting article whilst Googling the other day called Nostalgia is Dangerous, check it out if you want.

Stop living in the past and paying 2021 prices for old games. This applies to much more than just gaming.

But basically what it says is [I haven’t read it, you fill this in] and it made me think of the wow community. I feel like people would find more enjoyment from games if they sought newer games or expanded their gaming experience into other genres, what do you guys think?

My mom always told me when I was young, it’s not what you say but how you say it (I didn’t listen )

[Wyrmeater-stormrage]

Indeed people see what they want to see.

[Peppermint-eldrethalas (Peppermint)]

If I stopped living in the past I’d cease to exist in the present. What, did you flunk Temporal Mechanics?

@Wyrmeater-stormrage

All you have to do is read through y’all’s responses to this thread and it’s pretty clear your stuck in the past. This is why companies keep giving us remasters of old games and remakes of old movies.

People where actually trying to take legal action to make Blizzard release Classic.

This is also why blizzard doesn’t bother talking to us anymore about basically anything.

Lololol, such a poor troll. I’m sure you’ve never watched a movie, or listened to a song more than once. I mean, the logic is so absolutely flawed, it’s obviously a troll. Gotta step up the game. Don’t be so blatantly obtuse.

I’m just having a conversation and stating my opinion. It’s entirely upon you if you see whatever you see. I mean we could just continue to chat. Not everyone in this world has I’ll intent and I certainly don’t have any ill intent.

[Petitmort-cenarion-circle (Petitmort)]

Google is dangerous and not your friend. Stop living in the past and pretending they’re not evil.

[Klowdywilde-area-52 (Klowdywilde)]

Yeah, I implore you to start a conversation with an insult and demand in real life, and see how that goes. Double back all you want, you started this thread to be negative towards people that think differently than you, and gave no lead-in to an actual conversation.

[Wyrmeater-stormrage]

You realize is all in your mind right no one is doing a thing for you to crusade against.
