Teenagers Are Rediscovering an Old Game About Authoritarianism

Is a game that came out 8 years ago considered that old?

Grand Theft Auto V also came out in 2013. Minecraft is from 2009. CS GO is from 2012 but is very alike the original from 2000. All of those are still some of the biggest games today I believe.

This is the first post that I've had a genuine 'I'm getting old' reaction to.. I was in middle school when Papers Please released and it was huge among indie game fans. I remember like it was yesterday, Yahtzee Croshaw and TotalBiscuit giving it glowing reviews... Please nobody tell me that Yeezus isn't the new Kanye album...

Damn, the kind of progress we saw in games just 10 years ago has really stopped hasn’t it?

> Minecraft is from 2009.

Counterpoint: Minecraft got a major update last month and there's another one coming ~December. It might have been created many years ago but it's definitely not an "old game".

Don't play the other two but IIRC GTAV Online is still getting updates?

To be fair, in 1990 a game made in 1982 was positively ancient...

Yes, they are old. WoW came out in 2005 and is old enough to be classic.

Right, but that's 16 years ago - twice as long - so it doesn't really establish anything.
