I remember when (circa 2004-2012) it was a struggle for me to keep up with all the great titles coming out. Now I can count on one hand the number of new releases each year I find exciting. Back then, I figured the gaming industry would just get better and better. I never expected that new, innovative IPs would just dry up for the most part. Then again, my nostalgia may have something to do with my advancing age :)
