Videos made by random people aren't the same thing. Better in some respects - let's play videos show games comprehensively - but I don't think they properly replace the professionally made magazines which cover many topics and of opinions, have easily skippable ads and are more suitable to self-paced exploration.

I'm also concerned about not being able to run the software at all due to the complexity emulating modern systems (even for non-gaming applications) which rely on servers for functionality and licensing (DRM).
