There's an era of gaming that is disappearing. It's the late XP to early 7 era, a lot of games, even ones that came on discs, don't work anymore because the servers that handled the DRM are shut down. There are things you can't go do anymore.
Oh, maybe I should clarify what I meant: we still get cool, enjoyable new games nowadays that are every bit as good as the classics we played and loved then. If not better.
I think my biggest tip would be to stay away from pretty much anything labeled AAA.
Problem is most of those games aren’t terribly mainstream and also you have no one who has the time to play them with you.
Yeah, I'm mostly a single player kind of guy, so I enjoy my games like Return of the Obra Dinn, Dredge, Balatro, Dave the Diver, etc.
From what I hear, some older multiplayer titles can be made to run using cracks and some kind of VPN.
