    For me, its the long term viability of older games vs new ones. I can play older games on their original console or pc and they don’t have always onoine functions that break the game when the server shuts down. Hell, I am having a great time re-playing nfsu2 on my og xbox. I don’t find it any less fun than most wanted or some of the newer ones when I only have 30 minutes to play.

      Survivorship of older games is a really good indicator that they’ll continue to be available in the future. Like you said, too many modern games are online only and turn to expensive nothingness when the servers are shut down.
