– Modern accessibility of old games vs old movies.



– Is it morally wrong to physically modify retro consoles?



– Retro gaming elitism and the ‘correct’ way to play a retro console.



– GAME retail living on borrowed time and how CEX really is a better option when buying from a store.



– Is Microsoft risking losing customer ‘mindshare’ to their rivals with their increasing focus on xCloud and Game Pass?
