Why are younger generations embracing the retro game revival?
Retro video games and aesthetics are having a moment, but it’s not just gen X and older millennials reliving their heyday: younger millennials and gen Z are getting in on the nostalgia too

I've been on a binge of 90s games this year and its really impressive how well they still hold up, Half Life 1, Deus Ex, Morrow wind (I think it says alot that Morrowind still has a thriving mod community and a completely rewritten open source version), Just last week I found out they made talkie mods for the first two Monkey Islands, so I'm playing through those too. It's crazy that my 2023 GOTY was the System Shock remake. Point and clicks really are the pinnacle of game design tbh, all the games that have stuck with me over the last through years from Norco to Disco Elysium are essentially just point and clicks.
OpenMW is amazing!!!
I just searched for this game and the first thing I see at https://openmw.org/ seems to be saying they are moving away from open source? In app ads, fees, marketplace and telemetry (if you live outside california or the EU where presumably regulations prohibit it).
edit it was posted april 1st is it some sort of joke
