I kinda miss the days when my game library was far more limited than it
is now as it just felt individual games were more important. I did watch
a video recently that was talking about physical media and why some
people still prefer it. Their idea, and I think it does have some truth
in it, is that the inconvenience of buying and using it means you're
more engaged with the content.
how engaged you become with it, a bad game is still gonna be a bad
game.
I struggled with "Terminator: Rampage"* for months trying to finish
that thing. I didn't enjoy it. I could easily recognize all its flaws.
I knew there were better games out there. But I kept playing it
because I'd paid $50 USD (or whatever the going price for games was
back then) and I didn't expect to buy another game for several months
on. But the fact that I kept playing it didn't make the game any
better.
There are some benefits to having a smaller library... but there are
just as many disadvantages. Personally, I'm happier with my current
situation. If there's a lousy game, I can just jump to the next one.
If there's a good game, I can play that one as long as I like. The
only real downside --for me, anyway-- is trying to figure out _which_
game to play next. Paralysis of choice sets in, and instead I go out
for a hike instead. ;-)
