Well, I’ll give you my logic, why I collect for the Nintendo Switch. I inherited an Atari and small NES game collection from my grandparents. They’re games about ~35-45 years old. When my grandparents bought those games, and when my mother was playing them, handing them on to the next generation certainly wasn’t a consideration - but that day came. Now imagine yourself 35 years from now. That Steam game that was delisted 25 years ago, barely runs on Windows whatever-it-is, and can’t be transferred, isn’t going to be a very viable option. And that’s just the beginning. I get a mountain of joy from loaning titles to friends and family. Often, more than even playing the game itself. Not happening with Steam. You might say, “just go pirate.” To which I say, you seriously expect a free and open internet in 35 years at this rate? |
