I wish charts like these could “adjust for inflation.” Not the inflation of money I mean, but the inflation of the industry. The number of video game players globally has increased dramatically since the heyday of Super Mario Brothers. It was a much “smaller world” back then, so the success of SMB is likely more impressive than the success of e.g. Skyrim, and the success of Tetris would look just absolutely ludicrous lmao.

6·20 days agoSorry to get all “ok grandpa time for your meds” on you, but 2017 was 9 years ago. A whole decade has passed in the industry and the art form. XD

I’m super down for a spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, though I have to imagine they leaned heavily on CGI rather than practical effects. Not that I’m complaining, it still looks fun.
