I thought that when you buy a computer game that it contained a number of bonuses. By bonuses I mean special randoms items such as "power ups", health, money and weapons. As the game is played they get used up. So as the game gets older less and less bonuses appear. Thats why the game gets harder. I never played a game to the point where I had used everything included and had to buy a new copy.
