I consider buying a game to be a license to play the game indefinitely. That isn't quite how it is legally, but that is how it should be morally. Hardware is just hardware. You buy it as a means to play the software, and it lasts how it lasts. 50 years from now, the original hardware is going to be very rare and not hook up properly to anything anyways. I will still consider myself to have a license to play the games I bought. If I can get them to run on other hardware in the future, I might do it. Of course then, it'd be for the grandkids. But I could transfer my license to them, even though it isn't a real license anymore. They can play them guilt free. The original developers would be dead anyways.
You must be new around here
