Status? Lol!

Inflation is what makes cars expensive. Cars are worthless now, but the alternative isn't a whole lot better either. Parts are usually hard to find and are expensive for older vehicles. Hell, I spent 2 months tryingto find a booster for my 67 Dodge!
As far as gaming goes, you just have to deal with it. Developers can't sit around and continue to support a game with 10-20 people playing it when other games have a bigger userbase. Why is that hard for you to grasp? Its completely idiotic for you to scold people for exploring other alternatives because you're obsessed with something.
