Suddenly I feel that I was born too early.

There are many excellent games now. If I were born 30 years later, maybe the games would be even different. But I am now 20 years old, which means I have only 40 years to continue playing pornographic games. God, there must be amazing works at that time, but I can't play them. Have you ever thought of this?

Poor unsatisfied baby.

Will games be different in 30 years ?
Of course they will, at least I hope. I can't believe that everyone will just be satisfied by the sole quality increase and integration of the new technologies (like VR by example). But to be fair, it's been more or less twenty years that they are only looking in that direction, and the more time pass, the less hope I have. Games cost so much nowadays, that no studio really take the risk to innovate and change the rules.

And if they continue like this, well, you aren't born too early, you are born too late.
10yo me wouldn't have dreamed of nowadays games, and 20yo me believed that video games reached their peak.
But well, 10yo me globally only had pac mac, while 20yo me was amazed by Doom (the original). You have no idea how marvelous it was to travel through those years, to see, for the sole 3D part, Wolfenstein 3D (again the original) bring 3D into video games, Doom (still the original) add shapes to this 3D, and Half Life (the first) break the walls, and decors.
Honestly, I haven't found a game that amazed me this much since Half Life. Of course, nowadays games are marvelous, but there isn't a single one that is really mind blowing outside of the race to the highest quality.


Oh, by the way, 51yo me expect to be still playing the day he'll die, and I intent to live at least 50 more years.

Perhaps it's the other way around: What if this is the peak of civilization? The golden age? What if this is as good as humanity gets and it's all going to be down hill from now?

Everyone will always feel that way considering how quick tech progresses.

Chances are, if you time traveled 30 years into the future, you'd be annoyed by the state of the industry.

"why has necro become the new incest tag?"

"Why do I have to submit my credit car, drivers licensee, social credit score, social security number, make an account and verify it with three separate emails from 3 separate companies, complete a 6 minuet captcha based on sound, write an essay on why you're so loyal to your local friendly mega corporation, only to download the software that allows me to pay for the software required to purchase the game?"

"Why am I paying for the game, only to have to pay additional money to unlock each character? And whats with these microtransations? Why is it that to unlock each sex scene do I have to pay money, and why do I have to pay even more to enable genitals and even more to remove the clothing? Why does it charge my credit account every time I load a previous save?"

<Snip> You have no idea how marvelous it was to travel through those years, <Snip>
Slightly off topic here, but ... Amen, brother.
Give them another decade or two and they will look back and be able to say the same things we can (54, here).

The last job I was at, the guys in the office looked at me weird when I told them how cool things like destructible environments and water effects in games are. They weren't really around for the days of arcade games and hordes of 2D games with 8-bit graphics.
It doesn't make me better or smarter than them, just more appreciative of how things have changed.

The thing the OP doesn't take into account is the fact that if he were born 30 years later, he wouldn't know what games are like now and be able to compare them to what games (and porn games) are like 30 years from now.
I can see it now, when he is 50-ish and seeing all the 20-somethings complaining about how crap games are and yelling at them about how they don't know nothing about 'how it was, back in his day'. :)

I would feel the same if I didn't know there are games that can be considered as timeless. Such as Demon Souls, Persona 3, Dark Souls, Half Life etc. New games aren't automatically be better in my opinion.

in 30 years we will probably see fully fledged sex robots ready to pleasure any man/woman/circle with whatever fetish they desire. Realdoll is already one massive step towards that, key part is now making them move on their own

It depend what you mean by "move on their own", but there's already some who talk, have "real" facial expression, understand some vocal commands, and/or have some limbs articulations. I don't remember where, but I've seen the video of one who will suck your dick, and you can vocally command her to change the speed, suction, and perhaps few other parameters.
It will need times, because those who can prefer to works on "more serious field", but having one that "realistically" move while you fuck her should be the next step, and it should happen in a near future. In 30 years, and if you have the money, your realdoll will probably provide the full girlfriend experience.

This being said, I'm pretty sure that OP was talking about "regular" video games.
