MODERATORS
Mine is interest in retro gaming which oh boy, there's a lot:
Bonus points if that person happens to be Gen-Z and comments selection bitching about Gen-Z. I hate the weird elitism retro-gaming community have which as a Zoomer, it does put me off wanting to play older games if I be judge for being too stupid to not get it straight away.
Older millennial, grew up playing NES and after. Emulation is fine and allows everyone to play titles they otherwise might have missed. With you on the sbdke oil.
I mostly play emulation as it just good enough. I would only play on native if I really love the game or saw a game at a game shop that's cheap and want to give it a try. Otherwise, I find if I play games on emulation, is often that I know or heard of a game that suppose to be good but want to try it for first time.
If it has PC Port and isn't too bad (unless there's mod to fix it), I would rather play that, especially if it's a shooter games as I'm not too fond aiming on stick without gyro controls. Even if it natively doesn't support it, I would try create controller layout via Steam Input which is super hacky
