I’m 17 now and look back at how much I missed during the mid 2000’s just because I wasn’t old enough. That culture of MLG and the insane hype for Halo 3, and how big of a deal it was, etc. There is just so much now that modern gaming doesn’t hit when I think of the 7th gen consoles. Its just so much more corporatized than how I feel it used to be. If there was one thing that you miss or you wish you could bring back from that period what would it be and why?
That spirit of raking in profits by focusing on making unforgettable games, rather than the current way of thinking. Even things like MLG, that all came about because people tried to become pros by playing the existing game.

God, so true. Gaming has become so painfully corperate now its sad. It feels less like a niche and more like another genre for massive corporations to shove -Yoink- down our throats. The only creativity really comes from independent devs, which is a shame because they will never get the backing that a AAA title does.
I wish I could bring back the LAN parties snd couch co-op games. Back in the day you either owned a copy of Halo or knew someone who did and it was was one of the best times to go round their house or have them come round yours so you could play mutiplayer together.
