Or let’s say there’s a political/economic disaster caused by the greed and stupidity of…
What disaster? Things have always been like this and our king is a great man. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, or you’ll find yourself in the gulag in no time.
Not just terrifying. This is straight up nightmare fuel.
You probably already did this and they took all your money and then wiped your memory of doing it and of having money and that's why you're broke in the first place
Sometimes games cause such a strong emotional reaction for me that I genuinely cannot recreate the same feeling. Same with books and movies. I end up feeling nostalgic for when I first discovered it.
Sure a new game might be really good and immersive in a similar way, but it'll never be the same, y'know?
Other harmful side-effects aside, how much a game impacted you is significantly affected by the context of your life. Experiencing the same game at a different time in your life might not be as meaningful.
I too will let a company put hardware running rented software into my brain. They say you can't take away my pride, but pride is a emotion on sale for 19.99.
um no. im not sure chip in head will be a thing I would be willing to do where it gets to in my lifetime but if there was a replace game memories with like skill training maybe.

That's gonna be my version of old people saying "I don't do computers" now. There's no goddamn way I'm putting a chip in my brain.

Understood, but there are other memories I'd much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.

A futuristic brain implant sounds cool until you think about all the downsides

A futuristic brain implant won't allow you to think of the downsides, so don't worry about that.

I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I'd played before with a twist.
Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing

gamer: "worst game ever"
gamer: "i just wanna claw my eyes out"
gamer: "man, that game was so bad, i wish i could forget it."
announcer: Well you can now! For only $99.99* you can forget those games you'd really rather not remember
gamers (in unison, on triple-split screen): worth it!!!
*(per game, plus $15 a month per game--forever)

But the company would also erase lots of other stuff from your mind they don’t agree with. Yikes.
