The GameFAQs era will become a bit of a lost age between the print magazine guides and the "IGN became a guide site so slowly we barely even noticed" period.

I wonder if there will ever be some specific nostalgia for it or it was just too short and grungy for anybody to care.

GameFAQs etc. need to be archived in a public database and incorporated into stuff like RetroArch.

GoG has decent manual integration. Steam has decent guide integration.

I think it's a good idea on paper, but at some point having it in an overlay or whatever seems less functional than just bringing it up on a phone or a second screen, you know?
