Games are a luxury good that need to thread a fine needle.

With roughly fifty years of back catalog to draw from, free engines, and endless other distractors, a $250 game would need to be an epoch-defining masterpiece - or have true AGI baked in - to get my attention.

Then again, I'm not the target demographic: I built my own retro console from office e-waste and play retro games, older AAA and indies.
