There’s an unprecedented number of new games being released every year, significantly more than any other point in gaming history, so you can’t really use “new games are taking longer to release” as a premise.
And even if you were right, which isn’t the case, I’m fairly certain a game like GTA VI is justified in taking longer to be developed and released compared to some dinky NES game where a character is 14 pixels tall.
Game remasters have always existed, at roughly the same pace as we see today.
Nintendo remastered all Super Mario games from the NES only a single generation after their release, on the SNES.
I wonder if you people kept making a fuss and complaining about people buying the games.
Turns out yes, taking a good gameplay experience and remastering the graphics is appealing and worth doing. Who knew!
If this is a brand name power supply, meaning conforming to electrical standards, then sure they can.
The big scary capacitors will be discharged by a bleeder resistor during the time it takes you to remove the screws.
It doesn’t need a translation layer, but it does already use a hypervisor even for running native games. It’s how Microsoft guarantees every single bit of executable code is authorized.

I think a little thing called the iPhone App Store and the multi-billion dollar industry it spawned very much disagrees with you.
The amount of gamers is orders of magnitude bigger today, many of these gamers are adults with their own income, and the tools to build the games are more abundant.
So if you’re selling to more people, of course it makes sense to have the same price as games had decades ago. And if these companies disagree with me… Sure, agree to disagree, I’ll purchase your game at 75% off on Steam three years from now. Maybe I won’t purchase it at all and enjoy it anyway.
Yes, I’m talking about AAA titles - not Indies.
This is where I point out reading comprehension and not assuming your own conclusions summarise somebody else’s argument are helpful.
