You're pretty rare. I don't know of anyone who would still play ancient games or abandonware. The closest thing that I know of are people who still keep the Dreamcast, and I can count how many times they've played it over the last 10 years: 0. I don't feel that $VPO is a cost for most gamers as long as they can still access their game within at most a 5 year period. I would also argue that with services like Steam, players will be able to access their games for a longer period of time after changing machines.
