Leadership says, ‘Well we don’t want to articulate our strategy because we don’t want anyone to steal our strategy.’

Did you know you can buy those chairs for your home? Did you also know that the Back to the Future Blu-rays have not only the BTTF: The Ride video from the now-defunct ride at Universal but also all the motion programming, and that if you hook your Blu-ray player up to the chair, you can ride BTTF: The Ride?

Anyway,…

That Forbes article you linked to doesn’t seem to have commenting, so I just want to say here that just because search metrics on NFTs and blockchain games have gone down doesn’t mean publishers have given up on the idea, only that they’ve given up on this approach to trying to sell them to us right now.

So if the “near future” of QL was 1996 that sets this in 2026. I suppose that works all right since, at a minimum, it would set Ernie’s character at just about his real age. It’s certainly pushing it though.

That’s not what the article says. It says the events of the original did take place in this show.

Wasn’t the “present day” of the original series in the future? Not the distant future, but they definitely had some futuristic-looking cars and things, and that’s why Al always wore such loud suits.

So if this new series is set 30 years after Sam’s disappearance, it’s not the actual present day, but 30 years from the…

“Actually has a concept of adult responsibilities = didn’t grow up around arcades”. Flawless math.

Tell me you have no real life responsibilities without telling me you have no real life responsibilities

It sounds like at that point it was going to be in the vein of the 60s series, wherein the casting makes sense.

I mean...

Of course it is. Concept and execution are almost always different things. And in this case it’s extremely easy to envision a version of MoviePass that doesn’t work using debit cards and has a pre-existing agreement with theater chains... especially with the way the theater industry has changed since then. The all you…

I mean, SFII had exclusivity deals too, in a way. World Warrior and Turbo were SNES exclusive while Champion Edition was Genesis exclusive.

You can try all you want to reframe this as being about classic game preservation; you can try to make this about some glorious crusade to preserve history. But that’s not what this specific issue is. We’re not talking about a library disappearing forever if it’s not for a bunch of brave souls sticking it to the man…

Thousands? Hardly. I’ve seen the list of what Wii U and 3DS will be losing thanks to this which isn’t available elsewhere, and it’s miniscule. A handful of games and DLCs that may still be made available again later. And on the back of that you’re all about pirating an entire console? Because I can guarantee you…

You’re never going to really find any proof unless one of the devs opens up about it, which they rarely do, and whatever dev sources the poster may have talked to would be unlikely to come forward. But based on what we can determine based on how the PS4 and PS3 versions of the games compare, and reason out with the…

Yes, it’s stupid. Massively so.

Right, it was some random anonymous comment that made you decide to steal games. lol

Nah fuck that noise. This is just “Here’s a good excuse for me to justify not paying for shit”. There are still legal methods to play the vast majority of what’s on these two shops.

I would settle for them getting rid of the ridiculous forced underwear on your model. They’re perfectly willing to show you your character’s genitals during chargen and in the inventory screens, and even during cutscenes where you can see the underwear on your model but no underwear on yourself in the mirror in the…

The cell processor explanation sounds more likely than yours. Storage space hasn’t been a hurdle for other studios to port over even larger games. Just how big do you think KH 1.5 and II.8 are?
