> Who "invests" in iOS games, and would care to play them for years on end?
I'm not talking about games only, there also is a vast amount of productivity software on the iOS platform.

And for those who fall into the category of "whales" in F2P or pay-to-win games, it's sometimes six figures.

For a DVD, I can grab an USB DVD drive - or my BD player. Which will play back anything down to a CD-ROM. The content is easily accessible, and if I want I can do a bit perfect backup even for copyrighted stuff with AnyDVD. For a VHS tape, I actually have a dual-head player - it can do recording on both tape and DVD, as well as transfer a VHS tape to DVD. (Yes, tapes are really oldschool)
