subject: Video Games Present Day [print this page] Video games today are not in a state where they were a decade ago. No longer are you stuck using pong and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on your NES and slow CPU. No longer are you required having to spend 50 dollars for an excellent game for the Playstation. Times are not what they were five years ago, and this can mean both great and bad results for the video game buyers. The present state of the game is different, fresh, and something to be cognizant of as you go ahead as a video game player and as someone who enjoys games.
Games are out there on the world wide web, and for nothing. There are more selections than ever on the internet, in all kinds. As time goes by and the library grows, the ability to play high quality games for free becomes a certainty. Emulators are also accessable for older technologies, letting you play the games on the world wide web for zero price. Games that are tweeners that are not large enough to be worthy of a fifty dollar purchase but still popular enough to be made, like dress up games, fashion games and cooking games for young gamers, are easily accessible on the internet.
In game promotion is becoming more and more a reality. As game developers get to the profit ceiling and likelihood that their products will approach a zero price sometime in the near future, they are finding other systems to make money their product, including selling additional addons, selling product placement ads, and more. This means that the games may become more saturated but for those who are willing to deal with this, it is good for the buyer.
