@meltiheart 🫂 I certainly get the apprehension, at the end of the day, the only choice any of us have is to vet carefully and eventually trust people. It's hard out here, for sure.
@TheNCSmaster Two-pack of ass.
Hopefully the PlayStation IP preservation team that they've activated isn't just working on PS6 shit, because I have a feeling they're the only ones who will be working on the PlayStation stuff I actually want.
@vexmlk Seeing games like Paprium and Earthion land on the Sega Genesis in recent years gives me a lot of hope for a sort of "counter game industry" to emerge that flies in the face of the ballooning prices, prolonged development cycles, and gross corporatism that plagues the mainstream.
@vexmlk We need to make clone consoles and the active development pipeline of retro games more of a big deal than we currently do.
They used to be considered luxury products but the mainstream has priced them into budget status in comparison.
Feel like that's a good place to start.
@geoffkeighley@PlayStation It would be easy to say that they failed miserably to meet the moment brought on by economic forces, but I don't think their workflow would allow them to even if they were cognizant of the situation (which from all indications, they aren't).
