"Where has the magic gone?"

[Atoli]

Curiosity and adventure, don't tell me we loose that when we grow up, it's simply not true.

Until I turned 10, I played in the woods with some friends and all I needed for playing were some leaves and stones. I was happy with them, and in my imagination they turned into whatever I wanted them to be.
If you gave me some leaves and stones today, I'd say something like "I won't even touch that filthy stuff."
Face it, we lose some of that naivety, imagination and how easily we are satisfied.
Some of it, I'm not saying all of it.
Your car example is very good because it shows what I'm trying to say:
We need more and more awesome stuff to satisfy our growing needs. There's no way a game can keep up with all that, especially because people tend to become very diverse when they grow up, so it's even harder to fulfill the wishes of everyone who liked the Fandom as a child.
