You're right. This is going to make me sound like an old fart (my dad always said this would happen to me, too, one day) but while I appreciate living in the here and now, I do miss when every scrap of everything wasn't an opportunity to make a buck. There are more than enough indie games or old games I can continue to run to stay happy, so I think it's more the culture I'm reflecting on. Plus ça change.. :-)

I'm not so old that I would refer to myself as an 'old fart' in anything but jest, but I remember those times as well. I think it speaks to a broader issue that you almost _need_ to try to make a buck off everything to enjoy some comforts and luxuries.
