A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

That won't result in certain doom for the video game industry, no sir!

I was too young to fully appreciate the scope of the first death of the video game industry, but if it happens again, I'll be paying very close attention. People will want a post mortem, and I may as well be the one to document it. (Maybe Microsoft will have to bury the Xbox brand in the same landfill where they uncovered all those E.T. cartridges.)

Might keep a tab on you, ArugulaZ. Internet/culture documenters like us are a rare breed.
