The actual experience is for-the-moment and is temporal. For example, one moment I an enjoying Battlefront's Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord (year 2000), and the next, I am having fun with Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy (2011) with its one decade of better graphics. Both actual experiences are temporal. The memory of enjoying those moments is ... longer lasting, and therefore more important. The memory tells me that I had fun before with a 17-year old game's gameplay, and that means that at a different time and place, I could play it again to have a great wargaming experience. So you need both the actual experience and the memories that remain. Is pleasure of gaming wasted if you forget it? No, it is not wasted because for that moment your mind and senses is engaged in an absorbing brain-exercising activity. It releases stress and keeps your mind healthy and active. So nothing's really 'wasted'...except maybe...time... if the activity is excessive and takes more than is scheduled for.
