You kids today don't know how magical it was to buy a stupid fucking magazine and check out the free demos that came with it after listening to the kickass music in the disc menu

Okay. I can pirate entire full games in mere minutes. I think that's more magical than playing a couple levels of shovelware and a 2 minute demo of a good game.
>>716531949That's convenient. It's cool. But there's no magic in it.
Children today don't know the value of not immediately having the entire world at your fingertips. The value of blind discovery. Of expectation.
You had to be there.
>>716531839 (OP)I remember the plastic covering the magazine always being ripped with the discs missing
>free demos
You had to pay for the magazine. Free demos didn't exist until XBL came around, and that was also the era where game sizes weren't retarded, and the demo contained the full game, so a quick purchase and unlock key later, you had the full thing.
