The Internet happened. That was when I started ignoring him.
Sometimes, though, I still indulge him, like I did with Sonic Heroes, a game I discovered through adverts at age ten or something, thought 'Wow, that looks so cool!', discovered I couldn't actually play it and forgot it existed. Then I discovered it again, thought about how much he probably still wanted it subconsciously, tracked down a copy and bought it for him. He was happy with it, so mission accomplished I guess.
