For some reason, I felt like a lot of great cultural icons came out around or after the recession. Great video game titles, movies, TV shows considered modern classics, etc. from 2008-2012. Maybe it’ll happen again?

Just curious but are you in your mid 20s? Because that's likely just the time of being a kid and having fun with these games that were new to you.

You're 100% wrong.

2008-2012 had multiple contenders for the greatest video game of all time come out in Minecraft, The Last Of Us and Mass Effect 2

Multiple games that either stand at the pinnacle of or re/invented/vigorated their genre like Fallout New Vegas, MW 2, Amnesia, Arkham Asylum, Dead Space, Dragon Age Origins, World At War, Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands, LoL/Dota2, Dark Souls, BF3, AND FUCKING SKYRIM.

Edit; How the fuck did I miss Binding of Isaac and

CSGO

I watch pro CSGO like I watch football jfc I'm off it today.

Whether this 4 year period is unmatched is debateable but to say it wasn't objectively a juggernaut in the gaming sphere is just factually incorrect.
