    No doubt. Retired gamer here: I play so much Valheim, Saints' Row 3, and Fallouts. No way I'm forking out $70 for some new wannabe, unless you pry the .comfort games from my arthritic fingers.

    Yep, same. I still regularly come back to my point & click adventure games from the 90's. Such comfort.
