No. It would not. More like a duty to preserve video game history.

"I was there, in those dark days. I was leading the charge, on my hoverbike, jumping over chasms filled with brains, narrowly avoiding flashing arbitrarily-placed rock slabs. I fought and killed a giant rat. But I lost my brother, the big pimply galoot he was. To this day, every time I close my eyes, I can hear that beat. The beat of Battle.

Toads."
