Ever forgotten you bought a game?

Ever since digital games became a thing, it's totally devalued and over saturated the hobby imo. We now have too many cheap little games, free games... it's just... too many.

Back when I was a kid in the 80's, when you got a game? Unless you were a rich kid or a spoiled brat, it was a fucking EVENT. You would jump around for joy, pop that thing in and play for days, weeks and even months mastering every little nook and cranny until you either beat it, or realized your skills weren't good enough.

Today that just doesn't happen and it's mostly due to getting free games or cheap indie games. You know that saying you always heard growing up about how even Christmas would get old if it were every day? 

That's what ios/android and Games With Gold/PS Plus have done. It's the same with streaming music and Netflix. The product is devalued and not appreciated like it use to be. There's nothing special about it anymore.

Agreed. Getting 1-2 games a year and playing at friends houses I put in tons of time on each title. Now getting a dozen a year I burn through them and if I get one on a download sale it can be months before I can get around to it.
