87 had far too much garbage, and you didn't know it was garbage until you were already stuck with it.
Most games from 97 have aged disgustingly bad.
07 was the start of all the shit we're seeing today.
17 is filled with microtransactions, always online DRM, season passes, etc.

Gaming has always sucked.

I'd say 1997 has the most genre defining/biggest games
2017 has a huge number of quality games though. Probably way more than 1997.
2007 is a mix of both
