Oh man, you've hammered hard on all my pet peeves, here.

There's a documentary called "the Lightbulb Conspiracy" that I've been meaning to watch for quite some time.

Fortunately for us, we're not addicted to the latest games. We're usually about five years behind the curve with our computers, and by that time we can play most of the stuff that used to be hot for a couple of dollars. I guess that's the bright side of obsolescence - it rewards the patient.
