What it means

A satirical comparison of fictional video game covers labeled “THEN” and “NOW.” The old games are portrayed as crude, macho, bizarre, or deliberately pointless, while modern games are mocked for cinematic marketing, unfinished releases, excessive monetization or complexity, and repetitive online systems. The identical Super Mario cover in both sections heightens the joke by suggesting that some game concepts barely changed except for an “HD EDITION.”
