While they were saying games suck, kids were playing games that today they look back on with fond memories. Those kids then grew up to say the same thing about modern games. Every generation does this. It’s not unique.
Yeah this is pre Oblivion. This is in the era of Wind Waker and Super Smash Bros Melee. Yes, some issues were present, but this is two years after Majoras Mask
This is true, but it’s not just as simple as “things were better in my day” for no reason. The experience of video games has changed, demonstrably, from what it was decades ago. If you enjoyed the aspects of gaming from the past that aren’t part of the experience today, then they do indeed suck now, from your subjective point of view. So the comic isn’t wrong. It will happen to youuuuuu!
This is called “rosy retrospection”.

There is alot more going on than nostalgia. If only things were as simple as you say, but alas, they are not.
That’s the point of the comic I think…
