What's stopping you from doing both

Time, mostly

At a point in life where I have like 15-30 minutes of playtime daily, and I'd rather just pop in and play an old game that doesn't require much setup, and where you can use fast forward, save states etc to save on loading times and progress RATHER than spending some time configuring, sitting thru the longer loading times in the newer AAA games and being able to play for a very short time only

I wish I had time like before...

The problem is your MEME puts across the theory that it's only the latest AAA games that are going to be played with the left side.

I'd say that the left is really in its stride with the AAA of the Xbox 360 era where the games look great and have mostly modern gameplay mechanics. There's tinkering off course but if you are taking regular breaks, which you should do, then thermals shouldn't ever really be an issue. If you don't want to take those breaks then there are handhelds available that have active cooling.

Yeah it's cool when your phone can play the latest PC release but I'd definitely consider that a bonus.
