Question for gamer twitter: if Space Invaders were written today, there would be a cutscene where the young protagonist watched their beloved father die by alien hands, setting up her character arc and motivation to shoot spaceships. When did this tiresome era of gaming begin?

the seed was there from the start, limited only by laughable capabilities of arcade platforms at the time as soon as devs could have a few idle kb left in 1980s, you got your cutscenes

I see that I phrased it badly, but my question is more about tedious backstory than cutscenes
