If the video game crash of 83 hadn't happened, what would gaming be like today?

It would look like Steam Green light. Seriously, go look up the reasons the crash happened in the first place and then go look at greenlight.

HA! Eeeyup, my thoughts exactly.

I think the crash was actually inevitable. The total market saturation of both new consoles and cheap terrible games was only going to lead the industry one way.

Consumers at large continuing to buy (and not losing confidence in) the veritable plethora of garbage being churned out by Atari et al is the only way the '83 Crash would've NOT happened.
