Forums - Gaming - Will gaming last forever?

trestres on 29 July 2008

Do you think videogames will be around forever? I think it will.
Or do you think some other kind of entertainment will overtake it?

For example Toys were far more popular 20 years ago, now videogames and computers are what most kids want. I think that as technological advancements take place, we might see new ways of entertainment. But I find it very difficult for gaming to disappear, just like TV, radio or cinemas.

But who knows? What do you think?

It will be around for a long time as long as costs of developing a game dont get out of control,!

God I hope so.

Don't want to live through another crash like in the 80s.

Well, actually it will. There will always be digitally distributed games. So gaming will be around for some time. Even if it's old school gaming.

Forever?...no.

For a very long time?...I think so, but not forever.

No, WiiFit will destroy it.
