I agree with your main points, but I don’t think that just because something has been the status quo it doesn’t deserve scrutiny. There are those out there who feel that this is an issue. For them, the best time to explore it is now. At this point it’s futile, but I think it’s important that we re-evaluate our laws and policies when there’s a group asking for it. We just need to make sure the people making the decisions at the end of the day are competent…
Wow that’s impressive! I can’t imagine the time and dedication it took to create this.
It is! But it’s a bit sad we have to think about it.
Wow wasn’t expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who’s to say that the thought of “Ralph” doesn’t trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it’s a beautiful sentiment.
P.S. That’s probably my favorite book I’ve read in the last few years.
“Piracy preserves what capitalism can’t be bothered to.”
Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly “lost.” I don’t hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won’t make them money.
Came here to post something similar. I’m in my 30s but can’t resist going for a little “cart-ride” in the parking lot when going back to my car.
That’s a great point, and I wouldn’t mind if all instances used that policy.
Sweet Earthbound tattoo! I’m sure it catches unfamiliar people off guard. How do you explain it if they ask?
What the heck… That sounds like an absolutely miserable experience. I would have done the same. It wasn’t an optional boss or anything?
I absolutely adore this game, but imo it’s a terrible candidate for a remaster. The graphics were already stylized so I doubt a graphics update would make much difference. It’s a puzzle game so the replayability is already low. And I can’t imagine that developer commentary get people excited about buying the game again.
I wish this was successful, but I can see why this went sideways.
