Comment Old Big Box Games (Score 1) 32
Are doing just fine - many of us elder millennials and Gen X are buying back our childhoods (or the childhood we never had) - I've bought maybe 10 old 90's era Big Box PC games from eBay this year and have been enjoying them immensely. Some of the games are ridiculously expensive, but many popular titles (X-Wing, Baldur's Gate, StarCraft) are available for reasonable prices and will work on modern hardware in DosBox/Virtualization, or on vintage PCs. Unlike modern games, there are no internet requirements, download codes with no physical media, loot boxes, etc. I've been playing through X-Wing recently and have been enjoying it as much or more than current games. Like an old movie or book, they don't become obsolete just because new games are released (unless it's an online only game). There is a lifetime of physical media to keep me busy, and I can play one or two modern games a year that are worth it, like Baldur's Gate 3.
