Nostalgia isn’t hurting anyone. Nothing wrong thinking about better days and striving to replicate the good.

Nostalgia is dangerous? It’s been said a little knowledge is dangerous, too. So close up all the schools and universities, fire all the teachers, professors, and administrators, repurpose all the buildings.
NEITHER is dangerous. It’s how one USES it that CAN BE dangerous. A match in the hands of an adult can light the stove; that same match in the hands of a child can burn down whole city blocks.
You mean the 14 of us that are left?

But WoW Classic has kinda proven that the “Better days” never really existed and you just love it because youwere younger and playing a game that didnt have guides and everyone didnt min/max. Thats on the userbase, and nothing a game developer can do will fix that.

People really need to stop worrying about what other people spend on.

Why do you care?
That must have taken you a while, to ask all the people of the vast majority and collate that data.

The music industry seems to have created the ultimate cash cow in the guitar player, without which the industry would surely collapse. They’re constantly tempted by a dizzying array of guitar models and brands, thousands of effect pedals and many different amplifier sizes and types.
What’s fashionable plays a part too. The discussion surrounding all of these could fill librarys and the amount of bs spoken is virtually immeasurable, probably exceeding any other subject.

Things don’t stop being good just because time passes.

All you have to do is read through y’all’s responses to this thread and it’s pretty clear your stuck in the past. This is why companies keep giving us remasters of old games and remakes of old movies.
People where actually trying to take legal action to make Blizzard release Classic.
This is also why blizzard doesn’t bother talking to us anymore about basically anything.

More like Blizz was taking legal action against private servers and realized the best way to protect their IP was to release an old version of the game themselves.

It’s BF2042, not BF6.
This is so illogical. Things that are old can still be good. The fact that newer things are made doesn’t diminish how good something once was and is.
OP apparently has never re-watched a movie or played a game twice in their life.

I would say it’s a weakness. At least that’s how I view it.
I’ve checked out a few articles, it keeps on talking about the industries like video games and movies. Also i just realized there’s a Postman Pat movie.
So the old games should be free then? 
Well the new games aren’t really that great, especially since they are increasingly getting monetized, so… 
And yes, i know TBC Classic is monetized too, this is Activision’s thing apparently. Remember CoD 4 MW remastered anybody? 
Nostalgia is one of the reasons, but the vast majority of people play old games is either because they very good, they aged very well or they want to discover a new games back on the system they were playing in hopes to finding something else is good. Heck, there’s still people playing those old games, myself included, which is why i have a PS2 emulator so i can start collected PS2 games i remember and play them, and maybe get new ones to add to the collection. 
Because the future kind of sucks right now.
Also, just because something is new, doesn’t diminish the old one. Especially since if the new one is inferior to the old one.
Along it’s good, it’s good. Spyro comes to mind to Nostalgia done right.
Pretty much.

GOG is a great resource for this. I always loved the HoMM series. I got the whole series for like $10 and it runs on my current win 10 system (no need to reload Win 95 - but I still have my disks if I did 
) HoMM 3 has auto generated maps and can be played over and over - I could probably play this game until I die.
Diablo 1, which I cant get from Blizzard, is like $8. I still consider it the best in the series.
I dont play for nostalgia, some things I just like the way they were better. and FYI - I wasnt a teen at those points. My teen nostalgia would be arcade games, atari 2600 games or Commodore 64 games.

Nostalgia is pretty much all gaming is surviving on at the moment. Don’t take it as an insult but it’s why we hardly get anything new worth playing anymore. Everyone is afraid of change and stuck in the past.
2021 prices for old games? hasn’t wow sub remained the same since the beginning?
Same as well. Though, i got the Simcity 3000 unlimited there as well.
I still wish they made that SimVille game.
