Quote:Currently, if selling games was outlawed in the US (and it really seems like that just won't ever happen), I'm pretty sure I'd have more than enough incomplete games right now to last me for like 4 or 5 years.
Yeah, I've got more than enough unfinished games to last me a long time, and even if we ignore online multiplayer PC games the PC is by far leading the pack...
I've definitely noticed the 'as time goes on I finish fewer games' thing, certainly in part because I get more games. I finished most of my original GB games... and many of my GBC games... and some of my GBA games... for instance. :) On PC... hmm. I think I used to finish more, but I've always had lots of either unfinished or unfinishable PC games (you know, like SimCity and stuff). And what about games where you say 'what is finishing it'... did I finish Civilization II if I beat it once on any difficulty, or is that also 'unfinishable', or do I need to win on Deity...
But I also think that part of it is just that I don't try as hard to finish most games as I could. I mean, sure, sometimes I can say 'it's too hard to be worth it' or 'too boring to be worth it' but that's certainly not always true... I just don't usually focus on trying ot beat a game quickly (that is, within a period of weeks to a few months) that often anymore (and haven't for some time), except in the rarer occasions...
Of course, I certainly still beat games sometimes, but not as often as I buy new ones I don't think...
Quote:The only possible recourse is to eliminate SLEEP. The only way for THAT to work is to pass laws forbidding work places from taking advantage of this lack of a need for sleep by drastically increasing work hours (currently the only reason companies like EA eventually send their employees home is due to sleep, so a legal safeguard is needed, after all the only reason to eliminate sleep is to get more free time otherwise there's no real point).
Heh... good idea, but getting rid of the need for sleep might be tough... :)
