Just as the retro gaming generaton don't understand what is so special about 3D games, the new generation of gamers don't understand what is so special about retro 2D games. This means its unlikely there will be "new" retrogamers coming to the scene. The new gamers will have their own set of games that in time they will classify retro and so a moving window effect will happen.

Only the die-hards will carry on our retrogames and those numbers I'd imagine would be slowly dwindleing. Imagine if the internet was as wide spread when the amiga was in prime. Boards like EAB would be flooded with ppl. Its got to be slowing down, as they say "you can't stop progress" ....
