A:Answer I miss those days, I wouldn't call it harder, but definitely better. Would meet a lot of cool people, play games, and talk. Sometimes even pool money together and get a bunch of food and drinks, basically having a launch party in front of the store. Early 2000s, even up to early 2010s everyone wasn't so angry and didn't have phones, therefore they didn't ignore everyone around them and do their own thing on their phone like people do now. ps2, gamecube/xbox and Xbox 360/ps3 eras were such an amazing time to be a gamer.
