Millennials remember when video games weren’t pay to win.

And Gen X'ers remember when they WERE. 😂

More like pay-to-play!

Yes, the early days when games where literally 10 bucks an hour to play.

I miss you, Cyberstrike and Airwarrior.

So do millennials. There were a lot of really popular arcade beat ‘em ups in the 90’s. People claiming to be millennials who deny that are lying about one thing or another.

A subscription to Nintendo Power didn't count.

They're referring to arcades

I could actually see that being a good argument, even though they were talking about arcades
