This place has been crap ever since the great revamp 2013/2014. GS lost over 1,000 users because how much has changed and System Wars is still the only active forum around. Like @lundy86_4 said, this place is habitual for us oldies. Even the console wars we have no aren't exactly in a war, just staying alive is what both Sony/MS is doing now.
The Xbox 360/PS3 wars was really the golden age of System Wars.
I agree with all this. I've been around since the videogames.com days.
There's just not much "wars" in system wars anymore. Nintendo has been doing their own thing for 3 generations now, not competing in power and performance with Sony and MS. Basically a handheld platform now.
Sony has been dominant other than the PS3 gen, and after the 360 MS has fell off a cliff and is basically a subscription service now.
PC has no exclusives and neither do consoles, everything gets released for everything or console and PC.
The concept of the system wars that this board once followed was blown apart when console/pc became a thing. We tried to claim high ground with "console exclusives" but really the console wars as we knew it is dead.
What remains is a lifeless husk.... For a little while we were claiming high ground in ridiculous aspects like terraflops and how well we handle lighting and shadows... But that's nothing burger talk.
It seems in 2024 high ground is claimed by whichever company is doing the least harm to themselves with every backwards decision they make.
