Tech debt is like tetris. You can't win, you can only delay when you lose. And you'd better to constantly work on it.
"The Video Game History Foundation says that about 87% of all commercial games written prior to 2010 are now unavailable. This is a failure of our field. We're in a moment in time when people spend their adult life making one game, and 5 years later it is unplayable because of DRMs, system complexity."
