On top of obsolescence, another risk of “technology” being used as part of games is the current global trends towards software as a service.  That is, you don’t really own anything, you pay a subscription.  It’s a phenomenon that’s creeping into every walk of life, even the automotive industry.  You could end up with an app that you have to subscribe to.

I am actually concerned that is the path D&D is going with D&D One and I would be entirely unsurprised if GW don’t end up going that way with rules and codices as well
