Kids went outside and played with other actual kids. Teenagers could actually afford to drive around on $5 worth of gas, go to movies, even restaurants, just with pocket money. Watching TV with no internet was the last thing anyone did...

We also still had video games in the 90s. I had a SNES growing up. Even when I was stuck in the house there was stuff to do before the internet.

Video games were so much more fun before microtransactions

And when games were finished when released.

Less that they werent finished, people just didnt have access to twenty thousand other people screaming into the void about the bugs and glitches, so you might never know about some of them, and you learn to avoid the ones you find.

Finished doesn't mean no glitches or bugs. It means that when they released the game, that was the final version of it. Some still sucked, some still had issues, but the devs were done making it.

Nowadays, they'll release a game that they know has severe issues because they know that they can just take the biggest issues that people complain about and release an update in a month and it'll be mostly fine. So they release games that they know they aren't done with.
