    If 40 year old consoles can resume back to normal, so should 10 year old consoles.

    However, it should be noted that the PS3 is now 20 years old.

    Uhh… Yes I do expect it to resume back to normal. Why the fuck wouldn’t it?

    Sure, if I connect it to the internet I expect all sorts to updates to be missing. But offline? 1 day or 100 years shouldn’t make any difference. OK the CMOS battery might be flat.

    I’ve been using my Hotmail account since 1998. I can log in right now and go back and read all the stupid emails my friends and I were sending each other in high school 28 years ago. And I’ve never paid a cent for that Hotmail account. And my cartridge games still have my saves.

    So yeah, I do expect that.

    Who wouldn’t? It’s such a weird thing to assume it shouldn’t just work (assuming no hardware failure at least).

    If I turn on a PC from 10 years ago it’ll boot up and run the applications installed on it.

      Gen Z grew up in this broken world. They don’t know any better. They don’t understand what it means to own something.

      That’s the plan, actually.
