Time to double down on retro gaming and buying second hand. Industry wants to burn I say let it.
Plenty of old, cheap games and consoles to pick up second hand. Don’t need PlayStation’s slop.
The carts, discs, and hardware will unfortunately eventually stop working, but fortunately most of them can also be emulated on PC really well, sometimes better looking than on original hardware.
eventually but that will likely be long after most of us are dead. old consoles and carts are built like a brick house and most of them are repairable even games that have batteries. Just look at the N64 for example. that thing is like the Toyata truck of consoles.
that’s what i hate the most about this. “retro gaming and second hand” works now because everything was physical back then, and could be preserved. what will the people of the future have of us? nothing but memories of what will then be a digital graveyard. most of it unpreserved, even through piracy, because consoles are getting harder and harder to hack and emulate and companies are getting more and more litigious.
They’ll get to read the plot synopsis on wikipedia
