I don't know if it'll happen but I'm gonna be tickled if games ever develop academicly studied eras like films do. Like the whole silent era, golden age, Hollywood Renaissance, new wave, etc thing.

"Oh, you enjoy Dig-Dug? A classic from the Namco golden era. Personally I'm more into the early British wave of ZX Spectrum titles. The Stamper brothers were autuers, ahead of their time. Have you played Atic Atac? The origins of the standard life bar."

Actually now that I type this out this is just what white guy 45 minute video essays are

if you carry the love of video games in your heart, this has already happened.

there are people who absolutely love british speccy titles, and they are perverts.

I mean, that's 99% what is going to happen. Unless civilization ends, I'm certain there will be people who study "ancient" games.
