I guess it’s just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

    Outrage bait is obnoxious. Your kids aren’t going to be playing that one game you played 50 years ago. If they want to play it I’m sure there’s internet archive or they could pick it up for like $1

      internet archive is literally right now under attack by hostile actors, which by all logic must be capitalists or governments who want to destroy the public library in favor of a paid and/or censored one.

      we shouldnt trust that it will still exist in a few years the way the world is moving.

      In fairness, a lot of parents force their interests in their kids. That said, when my sister’s husband wanted to force his kids to like Mario he had me set up an emulator rather than dig out an NES.

      But yeah. People also overestimate how long hardware will last or what a mess playing decade old software is. Even when I want to play a chaos gate, I am jumping through enough hoops that I am not even starting from the big box.
