 I took my son to the arcade last night. Arcade gaming is objectively worse than it was 30 years ago. The graphics are worse, the controllers are worse, the gameplay is worse.

Streetfighter II, Tekken, Daytona, Sega Rally, Time Crisis, Point Blank, etc. That was the pinnacle of arcade games.

How the hell did personal gaming get so much better while arcade gaming goes backwards?
