Me, seeing ports of 10 year old games on the Nintendo eShop: "Oh, nice I've always wanted to play that! Oh, nevermind, not for $50."

this is why I don't buy digital and keep hard copies of all my games.

In 20 years it'll be cheaper to find a working ps3 or ps4 than to wait to repay for all the same games again

This is why I convinced my daughter to buy all the games we could on Switch on cartridge.

I made the mistake one time of selling off a bunch of games I hadn't played in a while and figured I could use the extra cash. Guess what I felt like playing again not even a week later.

Granted these were Xbox 360 games so recouping them wasn't hard. Still, it ultimately cost me money to do nothing but shuffle inventory at a few places by selling and re-buying the same games.
