There are quite a few things I'd love to experience for the first time again.

I don't buy digital copies when I have a choice. Easy for movies but Steam kinda fucked that up for games. I was never more disappointed than the time I bought a game box and all it contained was a code to get a digital copy. Haven't had a problem with Steam..... yet. It's only a matter of time though.

Oh to play Outer Wilds for the first time again.

But as good as that sounds in theory, I would rather keep my memories untampered. Brains are really bad at actually remembering things as they were at the time when they were remembered, any tampering might as well go unnoticed. I would rather not experience my favorite media for the first time again and also not risk getting my entire personality rewritten because of a bug or even worse - deliberate action.

Steam came to my mind with this situation as well. I assume the outcry would be loud if this happened there. But it gives another good reason to shift habits.
