I'm getting invested in gaming again, and the biggest worry when you invest heavily in something you enjoy is dying.

I recommend an Advanced Directive for your wishes, Things like a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Next of Kin, Medical and Financial Power of Attorney and Will to see how your games collection is split up..

Ask Concord.

Everything in life is temporary. You just enjoy things while they last.

All games live forever in our hearts, except for Concord, which nobody here played.

As a human man too, definitely not an alien...I would also inquire...what is this "eating" all about?

Heh, Ha...right?

Can a game die if it never lived in the first place?

 

[Codes 208]

there are tell-tales signs when a game is dying.

1. Devs stop supporting it
2. A sequel is announced
3. Player count just goes kapoot.

Single player games this is less of an issue for obvious reasons. Though most gaas titles seem to live at least a few years before they’re inevitably replaced. 1-2 if youre a cod/sport fan

Games will outlive you.

Take money from Epic Games.

 

[DoomGyver]

When cheaters takeover the multiplayer.
When they remove the servers because money.
When the game is stuck on outdated and/or failure prone hardware.
When a sequel comes out and they pull support of the original so you’re forced to buy the sequel.
When Mom cleans out your old childhoods bedroom closet without asking and casually mentions that she threw out your old toys.
