Everybody always says "I miss just reading those things for fun", but do you really? I think half the time I read them "for fun" as a kid was just to keep me connected to the game when I wasn't playing. Now that I don't need my parents' permission to play video games, I'd rather just actually play than read the manual.

I don't like a lot of things about modern gaming, but at least removing manuals is something that feels modern and progressive. I'm all for cutting costs and saving trees. Plus, video games are popular enough now that you can just buy artwork online that's much better than anything you would have found in a manual.
