Have you ever wondered how long gaming will go on for?
Well, none of us really know the answer, to most of us, we think (or hope) it will continue a long time into the future. But really, it cannot go on forever, can it?
Books, for instance, have been going on for years! Story’s have been told ever since the dawn of time! But other entertainment factors, such as film or video games for example are really new to the modern world. Although Film has been going for say a century now, and gaming past a decade, compared to books it is a new technology.
I think though, as it is a new form of entertainment, that us young ones will grow up still loving games and that will be taught on to our children, their children and their children’s children etc. So, hopefully gaming will not die for a long time yet.
But, I think the most devastating thing that can happen to the industry is company’s backing out of it. Maybe to join another type of gaming entertainment or a new one altogether. So, if we stop buying games, or maybe even if piracy gets to high, the big company’s may back out because of a lack of profit.
But, who’s to moan at this state of time? New company’s are joining the industry and more consoles then ever are coming on the market, boasting some really excellent pieces of hardware.
Heres hoping that gaming shall continue and that we enjoy our games whilst we can.

The greeks played games which involved pebbles thousands of years ago...before books...so even if videogames aren't still around, we'll have some form of interactive entertainment!
Waaaaaaahey!
Maybe we can use like our Space Dogs or something in the future!

Naa... even if professional gaming scene dies out (which I doubt)... There will always be people - hobbiests willing to code games...
Which will be given away free...
Or the I'll give the first few levels given away free... bung us a fiver and I'll give you the rest...
Then people will get to be known for coding games and be able to seel games without giving away levels... just demos of the game...
Other people seeing this will offer to sell different people games so that the programmers can keep on programming and not waste time filling envelopes...
until finally we'll be back where we are now...

Games will evolve to become like either the Star Treck holodeck or like that hologram chess game that C3P0 and R2D2 were playing chewie on the millenium falcon.
I trust you all watched that last night on Sky premier!

That holodeck! Not for too much use.
Guess this won.....this is getting more and more tedious for me.
I'm fed up with gameaday... I never win... ;)
I'm sure my post was better than this one....though it wasn't such an interesting topic. Oh, well, I won't complain :-), I've already won twice!
I've won 3 times and i've been on longer!
