Modern Gaming

This article is about modern video gaming. For other kinds of garbage, See Garbage (disambiguation).
Modern Gaming is just that, More recent video games that came out more recently. Simple as. Genwunners typically aren't fans of modern gaming but their quirky contrarian enemies have a tendency to love it more than anything else and despise anyone who dares to play games from older console generations because why not at this point. Obviously not all modern games are bad and Genwunners are fully aware of that but it's just damn fun to dunk on modern gaming in favor of Gen 1 so Genwunners simplify it all for laughs sometimes while keeping the fact that there are good games that came out recently in the back of their minds. Got all that? Good.
== Why Genwunners might not like modern gaming ==
There are some pretty common reasons why Genwunners aren't too fond of modern games and why you don't see too many Overwatch 2 Fanatics forming a community like Genwunners.
=== Always Online for one reason or the other ===
Genwunners typically prefer games they can actually play offline without missing out on way over half of the game. They literally play Gameboy games from the 90s for crying out loud. What part of "Single player game that needs to be online to play" would even appeal to this audience?
=== The very concept of Lootboxes ===
Yeah, That's fair.
=== Terms of Service that are enforced horribly and probably made by someone who has never played a video game in their life ===
You ever get spam right-click reported by a bunch of incels for calling out some guy's homophobia and were instantly banned for that? Genwunners HATE that. You can't even say "Damn hell badass fuck shit" without some other annoying retail stan reporting you and when you bring it up to other players they go "OMG UR MAD BECAUSE YU CAN'T BE OFFENSIVE OMG XDDDDDDD" and mass-downvote brigade you without bringing up anything that actually happened because they're contrarian redditors who try to look better than everyone else.
And to make matters worse, They're the same types of people who go "Omg no anticheat could EVER be wrong anyone who complains is cheating we gotta downvote because we love AI so much!" while ignoring the fact that it's very possible to be banned for no good reason. They just love treating companies like they're perfect and can do no wrong even when they go against the players.
=== Being AGAINST the community* ===
Now you may be scratching your head and wondering if this is hypocritical since we're talking about Genwunners. It very much is, But that's where the * comes in. The * means "*With parts of the community dogpiling and hiveminding against the part of the community being hated on". 
So yeah, It's still hypocritical as there are a bunch of redditors who go "OMG THESE FANGAME MAKERS GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED!" in the Pokemon fanbase but Genwunners were there BEFORE that became the norm in the Pokemon community. Meanwhile with modern games, It's the default. Especially when paired up with the last point.
=== Battlepasses ===
Genwunners believe they shouldn't have to grind in games to the point where it's a second job for limited time items and that they should be able to get the same experience from starting a game now and later. The obvious exception being with Mew. Grandpa Phil refused to comment any further on this.
=== Unorganized Communities ===
A lot of modern game communities do not have leaders that rule over the communities. This is not only blasphemy but it also does nothing to help fans who want to connect and share their love of the game because all the communities are fractured across various groups. It also allows toxic poochyena redditors to essentially take over and go against the general pre-established spirit of the community or make the fanbase look bad to people who might have played the game otherwise.
=== Difficulty or lack thereof ===
Genwunners think modern gaming is way too easy unlike Gen 1 Pokemon. Grandpa Phil has previously been quoted as saying "Quicktime events are NOT a substitute for actual difficulty."
=== Constant Updates and Day 1 Patches ===
Genwunners believe that back in Grandpa Phil's day, Games didn't need to update every single time you wanted to play them. That's not even getting into updates that remove or change content and remind you of it every time you see the new stuff but every time you complain about it a bunch of edgy neckbeard redditors complain about you complaining and take over the fanbase with their opinions and make everyone hate yours. Meanwhile a copy of Gen 1 is still fully playable and enjoyable today without needing to update and always be online. Checkmate, Incels.
== Why Redditors might LIKE modern gaming ==
Take everything from the Genwunner section and invert it to be complementing everything they hate and vice versa and you got their opinions. It's literally just the opposite of who they think the "Mainstream normies" are without thinking about any actual reasons, Just like the rest of their opinions.
