Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, “father of electronic games,” called today’s video games “pure, unadulterated trash.”
Bushnell told Electronic Design in an interview published on Friday that "Video games today are a race to the bottom.”
He says that a lot of the games today are too isolating and missing the important social element. Bushnell, the creator of Pong, now focuses on social games that involve the whole family just as they once did instead of the single player games he helped pioneer.
He also recently criticized Sony, calling the company “arrogant” and “difficult to deal with from a developer standpoint.”
