In 2030 you will own nothing.
And you will be happy.
I wish I believed the happy part
I think the happy comes with the unsaid "or else"
You be happy or you be soylent.
By 2030 my game "Backups" will in playing time surpass my remaining life expectancy lol
I have a very long breath to dive this through.
No kidding, my 24tb hdd entirely full of GoG launchers has everything handled.
Heh, that applies to most of my idiot peers but not me!
