Some stuff missing: We thought AI would be smart enough so we can have full conversations. // We thought we could control games with our speech or mind. // We thought we would never have any loading screens anymore // We thought games would be the main form of entertainment by now (not films or shows) // We thought most games would have a consistent words where things grow, change and are like in the real world, like if you burn a tree and come back later, it will slowly rot and new plants will grow on it in a natural way.
