Do you think videogames will ever be as good as in the 80's and 90's

Wanna know why oldschool games were hard just for the sake of being hard? Well, according to Shigeru Miyamoto himself, because otherwise games would be way too short

Yeah, good point. All games would be short if they were too easy. But since they were more designed to be harder, they were generally harder. Planning to make the game hard in the first place and making the game first, then thinking on how to add difficulty is not the same, imo. Sometimes difficulty requires alot of rebalancing.
