the game over screen was invented for arcades to get kids to pump in more quarters.
...arcade style games should probably retain that but a lot of games that is a pointless concept. it's one thing to game over on a top down shooter that can be played start-to-finish in an hour. could you imagine the outrage if 10 hours into assassin's creed you died and the game asked to start over. no one would ever play assassin's creed again. it just cannot be used on that kind of game,.. instead you use the checkpoint system.
so no need to retire,.. just make things right for the game being made.
