Can confirm, the new seasons of B&B are excellent.

The transition of their interstitial scenes from making fun of music videos to internet videos felt very natural.

I'm not a big KOTH guy though so idk, it may not reboot so smoothly. We'll see.

The publishers decided in the 00s that the market for video games in the US was entirely spike tv viewers/male 18-25 demographic. People were fuming mad that Wind Waker had colorful graphics and outside of Nintendo, no one was even trying to make games that weren't washed in some shade of brown in the name of "realism".

There are probably some counterexamples, but I can't think of any Western-developed releases that weren't leaning into either gritty realism or like I guess Simpson's Hit and Run which was based on a cartoon IP.

Once the Wii launched in 2006 there was a hard pivot to making more "casual" games for all three consoles, and western publishers defined the "casual gamer" audience as everyone outside that male 16-25 demo. IGN also launched their Greenpixels sister site. Rare got bought by Microsoft in 2002 and kept making their brand of cartoony games even if they weren't as good.

The 2000s were also the last decade in which every single kids movie, cartoon, and Disney channel show got turned into shovelware titles, they were still around for 6th gen consoles but by the 7th gen console development became too expensive. They remained a staple on handhelds. I can't say those games were good but they must have been profitable because they kept pumping them out

The Sims titles and their expansion packs were also permanent fixtures on the PC sales charts throughout the whole decade after EA/Maxis accidentally discovered there was a huge female audience for those games

EDIT: Plus there was a hundred console and handheld spinoffs of the Sims. It's all so easy to forget or ignore if you got your gaming news from magazines and websites of the decade. Because they relied on ad sales, and marketers considered young men with disposable income to be a demo worth it's weight in gold, so those outlets focused their coverage accordingly.

The 2000s ended with phone games and facebook games taking off

its weird to look back in retrospect and think that the sims was originally conceived as just being add on content for simcity 2000 like i cant imagine that computers from that era could have realistically simulated the sort of granular details necessary to have the sims content meaningfully influence the larger simcity landscape

https://twitter.com/itstheshadsy/status/1535292346702745603

maybe it would be possible to do such a game today but the simcity and the sims target consumers are such radically different audiences its hard to imagine who such a project would really appeal to
