The death of retro ?

I still have some old consoles like the original xbox/ps2 and older such as megadrive and i know that i can always buy games plug them in and play them. But the previous gen it got me worried with digital becoming more and more popular i wondered would it kill retro ?.


Past few years i have seen games being removed from digital distribution for example outrun/marvel vs capcom 2 usually due to licensing. But i do wonder will servers still be around in 20 years so i can download games for the xbox 360?.

Its not just the downloadable titles i worry about major games like skyrim and fallout 3 in there unpatched no dlc state they have a lot of issues while in 20 years i may still be able to play them can i still get the patches and dlc if there is not a game of the year on disc version.

I really had this feeling with a lot of games that i was just renting them what with always online needed for more and more
