Strange sentiment, which is well past the massification and gamesjournalismification of video games. By then, cover shooters were just a bad memory and most serious hobbyists had for a long time embraced both indies (Braid, in 2009) and older titles (Braid, in 2015, when the article was published).

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

"serious hobbyists" would've already heard about Braid and be in the "played it already" category

Right?

When people are arrogant enough to claim predictive trends in something as complex as human psychology, I get doubt.

I enjoy the technical insights tho.

It's in my Steam library. I'll get around to it eventually. Or perhaps my kids will do so before me.
