With a paper book, you can stretch it for a very long time. With an e-book, you probably can too, now that Alf and Calibre make DRM-removal and format conversion trivial.
With computer games... you could be SOL if you don't keep your old computer running your old OS. If it wasn't for GOG.com, that makes old games compatible with new operating systems, I'd have lost quite some Win95/98-era games already. (If not counting virtual machines, obviously.)
Some originals run great on Win7 x64, sometimes with a hack here or a tweak there, but others even refuse to install or start for one of several reasons, where the GOG.com version runs as if it was written for Windows 7.
