What a fun story.

My NES came with Mario 3, I raided before plains of power made EQ easy, and I spent hours chopping wood by hand in ultima because I refused to get a paperweight to hold down the hot key.

They are certainly games out there that have a longer shelf life. It's not all of them nor should it be and it's not how most people play games unless heavily multiplayer focused.

Well, somebody else provided a different take on what you meant (which is that people try and ditch lots of games which are shit, only settling down with some good ones) that makes sense.

Personally that's not how I do it (I would rather not waste time and trying tons of games if free), but that's me and I'm not going to claim that's how most people go about consuming games (I doubt it is, to be fair).
