An ever (even exponentially) increasing number of games made since the 1960’s are entirely simulated within “com-pu-ters”, which is far inferior to analogue implementations. They make me motion sick and the 3D first-person view ones are very disorientating to navigate in. It’s also a lot more difficult to modify them, such as tweaking the rules or proxying your own assets/pieces.
I can’t complain though, as there are many incredible analogue games being released today. In fact, we’re in rather a golden age! And 3D printing is great to produce whole games or one’s own miniatures for mere pennies.
Some board games that have been digitized are arguably better than their IRL counterparts. Particularly for games that require complicated setup and/or rules. And the ability to play remotely can be get as well.
