I do think there's something condescending in how we treat older games, as if we need a reason to go back and play them. Imagine taking that attitude toward older music, or film, or literature. I guess it has to do with how the history of games is also the history of game technology, and there's an idea of "progress" when it come to technology, which then gets transferred onto games as a medium.

Re: In Theory: Could Sony's next-gen handheld run PS4, PS5 and even PS6 games?
Honestly, if it can just play the whole PS4 library, I'm in. So many incredible games.
