The CIA and FBI have no interest in preserving video games, music, or anything like that. it's not their job. Most younger people now don't care about preservation sadly, they prefer the convenience of digital, streaming, etc. There are no stores where I live, outside a few small specialty shops, that cell CD's anymore. Movies are headed that same direction, and video games as well. It;s the sad reality, but it's the reality. No crimes are being broken here. --- End quote --- without stores there is no economy, no economy mean sadness depression, and vary few jobs or reason to leave your house and have a family outing. and no where or place of possessions to call your own, streaming service has all or mostly bootleg shit, on it, and not the original artist, that is why I collect music games and some movies, because I don't ever use all that free shit, sorry but it's shit, and it's only good for some genres of music not most or even the decent stuff is not on it. not to argue I agree with you Wolf! but them kids don't know what's good, I do, and I say that free stuff 98% of it is just 2nd hand garbage and those bands that cover for those OG artists don't even sound close to the master recordings you can luckily still purchase NEW from stores like Walmart and BOTH off and online best of both worlds Sometimes YouTube is best for finding something new, or getting the word out there, but this world is so twisted up now I hope it gets better and we can have best of both worlds |

It's one thing to be an old soul and prefer the bygone way of things, and then another to shill for a soulless corporation like Walmart. That company is responsible for the demise of more retail business in the U.S. pre-Internet than probably anyone else. They brought in the cheap import crap and sold it at cut throat prices for decades. They helped lower the bar for consumer goods and they drove out countless smaller businesses that could not compete with the appeal of a massive big box warehouse full of cheap junk. Walmart, Amazon, etc. Unfortunately it's all just the way of capitalism, and there's a logical if somewhat troubling conclusion to that system. Without systemic change we're all on track to earn far less of the world's total wealth than our parents, and our children far less than us, as more is concentrated to the top. Unfortunately we live in a world where the philosophy is somehow thinking money is the goal, rather than the means. We're greedy by nature, and it's also our downfall. But this rant is getting way off topic and I'm not delving into the politics... I heard video game prices haven't peaked. |
