I love video games. It’s fair to say that I am obsessed with them. From an early age I was drawn to what they offered, their ability to push forward technology, to wow, to entertain, to make me excited like nothing else. As a child I used to read maybe 10 video game magazines a month (maybe more if I wasn’t shooed out of my local WHSmiths that I was using like a library). I took joy in telling my friends about video games, and I knew I wanted to turn that into my career. And I did. There have been ups and downs, for sure, but I’m still here, 20 years later, still obsessed.
Yet, things feel different. It, the mood hanging in the air, feels, for want of a better word… bad.
It’s the severe whiplash of it all that’s so hard to parse.
