Playing current systems in the future?

Postby Ferf131 » October 14th, 2014, 6:11 pm

I was wondering what people thought about playing current systems in the future? Let's say 20 years go by and someone decides they want to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360. The problem, I see is that a lot of current games get multiple updates to fix the game. What would be the fix for someone to get these updates in order to enjoy the game?

I'd probably just torrent the final version of the game and run it using custom firmware. There'd be no reason not to since online services would be down at that point--no-one watching (or caring) what you do with your console.
