Games aren't really things you can keep forever anymore. They're events, like concerts. Or like movies were before that piracy device, the VCR, was ruled legal in American courts -- something industry moguls still fulminate about (Jack Valenti saw it as the Boston Strangler for his industry until he died).

Get used to this new reality. Enjoy your gaming experiences when you have them.

Such a bizarre take, when most games I play are from a decade ago or more.

I have very little interest in current gaming trends.

Games are as much like concerts as books are like a person reading it out live
