That's why it's fun to go back and look at pdfs of old gaming magazines from the 80s and early to mid 90s, it really was quite a niche subculture. You'd have these small 5-10 developer teams making just the oddest, but fantastic games that you only ever see in indie games rarely nowadays (itch.io is a fun place to go for those kinds of weird, off the wall games these days). Once the Playstation/N64 era took off gaming just getting progressively bigger and aiming for the lowest-common denominator of players. I still game but rarely ever big AAA games, mostly its retro games/hacks on emulators and indie games.
