What do you think videogames will be like in 30 years? Just like they are now with higher detail graphics? Drastically different? Will current input methods (controllers + m&kb) remain the standard? Will games get better or worse?

All games will be designed for handheld phones with two buttons - one for each thumb. VR will be attached to all of them.
I was going to say a bunch of shit about mobile freemium, pay2win, extreme jewery with items, cosmetics and gambling but realized that's the present.
VR will fail over the next 5 years, be untouched for another 15 years, then actually take off in 30 years
The hardware for rendering is enough right now, but the technology for actually interacting with it isn't- too expensive, and too simplistic. You can only control position/rotation of your head and hands with an $800+ setup. Utterly ridiculous, no fucking wonder it has almost zero adoption rate.
Probably cease to exist because nukes destroyed all technology.
We live in an age where innovation has declined and stagnated. I do not see a bright future for vidya until a serious crash happens with a bunch of companies going under because of their own incompetence. But that won't happen because of the casual audience very rarely ever learning and just throwing their money away like nothing. It's sad.
Shit
People spend that much on an iPad. I don't think it's going to get terribly less expensive for the gamer/enthusiast spec. There will be cheapo VR things like cardboard though that can't play anything good.
Most mobile phones these days have decent enough specs to be used as a VR screen, only thing is there isn't really any proper software for screencasting from a desktop (without shit resolution, lag, or low fps).
