It will remember the people who did it anyway.
Congratulations Elon.
The first trillionaire. 🚀
@KamalaHarris Shouldn't disruptions be mitigated as much as possible so that the candidates don't waste everyone's time talking back and forth and over eachother?
Both should care more about giving clear, precise answers and policies rather then their opponents credibility and sincerity.
@Sliider3 @Chrisfratz1 @GameHistoryOrg They're not even making any money from these resold physical copies so what difference does it make if someone downloads a rom? which is much easier to reserve and produce then a physical copy and doesn't cost them anything to print so where is the logic here???🤷♂️
@Sliider3 @Chrisfratz1 @GameHistoryOrg You don't have to care about videogame preservation but what business of it is yours to tell people they shouldn't? If don't care just stay out of it.
@Sliider3 @Chrisfratz1 @GameHistoryOrg No one expects them to keep the store open on these platforms, The issue is they're actively preventing these games from being played through any other means when they have no plans to do it themselves.
@Anime_Dingo@JuiceMan_V @BradlyOverrated @NintendoAmerica Come to think of it I'm pretty sure you're able to do something similar with the Xbox Dev Kit Application.
@Anime_Dingo@JuiceMan_V @BradlyOverrated @NintendoAmerica So you pay Nintendo to install/download the Rom on your switch? That be awesome. I'd imagine the companies would at least have to provide a safe website with access to these Rom's to list what functions and what is legal if they truly have no plans for any re-releases.
@JuiceMan_V @BradlyOverrated @Anime_Dingo@NintendoAmerica They should really change the law about how long a gaming franchise or a particular game can remain untouched before it enters the Public domain, these intellectual property laws are ridiculous and don't incentivize these companies to make use of their IP's.
