Games and Music Last Forever

 Games and Music Last Forever

We all are at crossroads.

The transfer to Digital Games from Physical Game consoles is happening at this moment.
 
Is it going to a dead end for play consoles?

I do not think so, but that is my opinion.
 
Let me start with music.
I used to collect Cassettes and Cassette Recorders in the 80s and gradually moved to CD/DVDs and DVD players.
 
It culminated with combos and amplifiers.

Then I went to digital music.
 
Then I stopped completely.

Parallel with music and with children growing up, I went for gaming. 
I had a real attachment to Atari and Commodore gadgets.

That also ended up when children grew up.

Finally I ended up promoting Linux Games and the Steam Deck and Drive.

But my interest in Linux outlasts all of them. 
 
That is due to the Freedom it gives.
 
I do not have to pay to a company which profits a huge margin.

That does not stop me writing books on many topics right into my full retirement.

I just saw a guy who works 70 hours a week full-time on Physical Gaming Industry. 
He has an impressive sales outlet which he is going to sell when he is fifty and retire. That is in about 15 years or, so. 
His plan is to recover the capital and have a profit margin.
This is in a volatile market.

I do not think he is going to be happy, unless of course he finds another hobby or a similar type of entertainment businesses.
He is a man with the passion and the drive.
These types of guys either breakdown (including business failures) or need some form of occupation to keep them happy.
I do not say he is a workaholic guy and he is a family man.

He has started with entertainment business and migrated to his present store. 
 
It is one man show.

By the way, I work more time than him as a doctor but always found different form of entertainment including delving into politics, aspiring for a system change.
When young ones takes over I sidestep and only provide vision to the changing dynamics. 
Politics is not something for a weaker heart.
One has to take up as much as one gives out.
 
We call it brickbats.
 
Problem in politics is that is firmly bound to economics and the moment they guys and girls get richer they forget the masses.
One has to start again.
I have seen this happening in the Third World, ad nauseatum.
