    First: that whole “oh no mario kart is 80 bucks” ragebait stuff is cringe. You don’t want to pay that much for videogames? That’s cool, but stop polluting everything with negativity.

    Second: take that AI slop somewhere else. I’d have more respect for this post if you did this by yourself. You mention not having the skills? How about investing a bit in yourself, get some skills and do it yourself. Even if done badly - that would have been better than this AI cringe.






  • Videogame publishers not caring about their backcatalogs. If they’d care about preservation and actual long term gain, they’d make old games available.

    It took EA so long to make Sims 1 and 2 available. It felt like they actively hate money. And there are plenty of other games that people would love to buy and that are just not made available.

    If owning the physical retro game is the only way to play the game (legally) that will help drive up prices.

    This is of course but one of the reasons.
