@killyourfm much of it is youth yes but games in the 90s and 2000s were going through a very rapid change in culture and technology. Consider that in 10 years we went from Doom to HL2. And in 5 we went from Mario to Quake. It's hard to not be excited around that time with all the optimism and change. Then around 2007 we stagnated. There's a part of us that never left the 360/PS3 era.
