Then they can wait six years between sips of AAA piss, I suppose.
My friends with kids don’t seem to have any problem picking up Sonic, Pokemon, or Guantlet. One’s even picked up Eldin Ring.

Elden Ring is hardly “aged”. Literally dropped DLC in the last 12 months. There are modern Sonic and Pokemon games and they hit a short cycle time.
The “can wait 6 years” is the whole point. They aren’t waiting. They aren’t getting attached enough to bother waiting. That’s literally the whole point of the article. Did you read it?

Plenty of young people are into retro gaming.
