Having The Time To Actually Play Them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvpsoEOJ0_E In between a full-time job, looking after a family and the general woes of modern life, who actually has the time to play games these days? And, perversely, it's now easier than ever to have a Steam library filled with hundreds of never-played games. 2.

Back in the day of cartridge gaming though, just about any problem could be fixed by simply turning it upside down and giving it a good, hard blow. 1.

Much of this can be attributed to just being overly familiar with video games after years of playing. However, instantly available information online and extreme levels of marketing hype that reveal just about everything there is to know about most AAA releases doesn't help either.
