Why do so many gamers insist on “everything was better back in the day” when most things where just simpler and maybe even “dumber”? Why do we tend to glorify the past so much in our hobby?
Pretty much every pre- 90s historic game was far more complex and interesting than what we have now. Even GW games were more detailed and intricate with the exception of a handful of introductory games that were very specifically meant to be just that, HeroQuest and Space Crusade being prime examples.
