If you’re ever feeling distraught at the state of the world, look to gaming.
There aren’t many technologies, or industries, that have grown and improved by such leaps and bounds as has gaming. Don’t believe us? Imagine showing “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” gameplay to anyone in the year 1972. At the time, Pong was likely the highest-tech video game anyone had on their radar. They were still eight years out from Pac-Man, 10 years out from Tetris, and over 12 years out from the release of the first Super Mario Bros.
Now, we live in a world of VR headsets, ever-improving graphics, and video games of increasing scope and ambition. Not only that, but they’re on sale.
