Are we going to lose gaming culture we know to the new generation or are we seeing the new generation spin the culture to new heights. Jaemi dives into the idea of a new generation that has been spoiled by the overwhelming video game boom of the 21st century. Is the new generation even hungry for new games, genres and game development ideas or have we raised a generation that is already full and sick of playing video games?

We explore the question Are Gamers Bad Critics in this episode. Jaemi delves into some issues with regard to certain biases when it comes to critically reviewing games or are gamers just driven by hype and emotions. Do gamers really follow criterias when figuring out which games are good or are they subjective when it comes to understanding the best games out there?
