Antique Collecting: Why Do Sports Games Depreciate So Fast?
One of the major criticisms of Sports games is that there isn’t instantly a noticeable difference from last year’s rendition. Sure, a lot of work goes into these titles from year to year but a majority of changes are minor. So, why is it that these games depreciate so quickly?
