    Stupid thing is, if they sold it, people would still buy it, even if it was easy to pirate.

        There was the Snes mini a few years ago, that had a few select games on it. It was sold out everywhere instantly, to noone’s surprise. No N64 mini ever made it to production, to everyone’s surprise.

        They do. It’s called Nintendo Switch Online and is managed over a subscription service. They’re never going to just sell you a game anymore. They’re going to force you to pay monthly for it for the rest of your life.

          Pay up or skill up. $ is the price for ignorance.

          It ain’t the world I like but it’s the world we have.
