Bought a car seat for my toddler. Opened it, manufactured date was 4 years ago! That is, it would EXPIRE in 4mo.
So, I go to return it, and the returns counter guy said they don't take care seat returns and that it's not defective! Got absolutely nowhere with him, ended up having to go to a different location and the person there had kids and understood the issue. Ugh.
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
The latter years of the NES, the entirety of the 16-bit console era (SNES/Megadrive ["Genesis"]), the golden age of PC adventure games & the dawn of multimedia (CD-ROM based games & talkies).

The leagues won't survive if paywalls go up. Watching your team "for free" via OTA broadcast TV is how they got so big in the first place. CBC's HNIC was huge. More and more, if there are barriers to watching something, many people prior just won't bother.
You assume, incorrectly, that people will always care about said professional teams/sports.
A lot of the "care" is in the communal activity of watching a game together with one's mates. Take the convenience of that away, and people will find something else to do.
Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you're primarily going to be gaming. It's a fork of Fedora by Glorious Eggshell Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.
It. just. works.
v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.
