How many years does the C64 have remaining?

With activity down, combined with appearances of sceneres releasing old stuff created years back, I wonder how much the C64 scene can continue?

Some good replys.

I guess the anwser is:

A) The moment people stop creating C64 wares ;)
B) The moment all C64 hardware dies.
The emu scene could continue continue, but emu will never be true C64

My 2 C64's are stuffed. So any future C64 graphics from me will be created on a PC, and in some ways that in itself destroys a little more of the C64, as there's no point in pixel pushing on an emu when Photoshop is so much more friendly to use. I have already created a Cosine (MC bitmap) logo using Photoshop and designed 2 demo parts and an intro using Photoshop.

I wonder if we'll ever see the big demos that used to appear on the C64m the demos that used 1 or 2 disk sides :D

B will take a long long time. remember, c64 was the most sold computer ever. there are millions and millions of them out there. (and most sceners i know have 10, or 20, or more =P).

and uh, those "big" demos come out more or regulary still :)

I am curious, sir, did you really have to start a thread and ask people's opinions before you were able to reach that conclusion, or did you know the anwser all the time?

Do you remember what your original question was? If your anwser is indeed correct, then #$0a+#$0b = #$15 = 21 years, the C64 will die 21 years from now!

This is really shocking news, you mean we destroy the C64 by using PC tools? :(
