Could not agree more, and just came there to say this.
I work at a small retail store with an online shop. Multiple times we’ve had parents call us to cancel online orders where their kids purchased something using their parent’s stored credit card info. Those things really should be locked behind a password.
I still have a bunch of my original consoles: NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. The only I don’t still have are my PS1 (original, not the tiny One), N64, and Gamecube. PS upgraded to a PS2, and to be honest I never really played the N64 much. But the GC just kind of fell by the wayside and got lost. It had such amazingly unique games, but just was overlooked (even by me at the time) because it just didn’t match up graphically and didn’t really have the 1st or 3rd party support it needed.
Power. The moment they retire they give up the ability to control people’s lives.
