When I saw the topic title I thought it was one of those deep discussions about existance and meaning of life. Well, I was close enough
Lot's of fine arguments already mentioned and good old 'to each his own' can be applied again. So, I'll answer the question:
I'm here because I loved playing video games since my first C=64 back in early eighties and I found so many great games on this site that I loved at some stage but lost due to different circumstances, plus many more that I never got a chance to play (even while groving up in the country where pirate games were advertised in newspapers
). I post in this forum because there are so many members that share the same passion for the old games and I had many great discussions regarding different games.
Saying that, I still like so many new games, too. For example, once I finish checking this site and a few others I regurally do once I come home from work and have a dinner, I'm going to play Disciples III till bed time.
