Exactly this. For me it becomes obvious, when I play older games. Sure, A Link to the Past is still a gem, Super Metroid or SMB3, too. Bit many of those older games, we have fond memories of, kind of suck today. Just a bit, they are still fun. But the magic is gone. Saw that with Sands of Time a few weeks ago. Then the System Shock Remake came and gave that sense of wonder back.

Downloads are no problem, go have fun discussing games on Lemmy while waiting for the download, watch a Video about it or whatever. Disk space is cheaper then ever. It is just harder to have fun, because we have sooo much to choose fromnand because some of us became old grumpy farts (myself included).
