Before it was a physical thing,, just with the wires and the connectors,and it was a thing about computational power. Now that we have wireless controllers and huge HDTVs, it makes no sense that 4 has to be the cap for every game. Is it just that our brains are too stupid to handle more than 4 people playing at the same time, or has it just been self-enforced as standard.

Even Bomberman 2 on the NES had 5 player action.

well, even if u are playing with more than 4 friends, u tend to do things like, winner stays on, or alternate groups. if youre playing and spectating alternately, its still good fun.

Yeah, no. Only poor people and bullshitters would go "let's take turns" instead of closing a game that can accommodate all present.
