Yep, in hindsight, I think my dissatisfaction with games started when I could get pirates Dreamcast games. Then emulation meant that I had access to a ridiculous choice of games to play.

Hiroshi Yamauchi knew this when the Famicom / nes launched. There's a quote from him somewhere about it. Anyway that's why third party publishers were limited to a few games a year.

I need to find a way to lock down my steam deck to only one game a month.
