Oh, I misread the article. Skimmed too fast on my mobile this morning. I feel for Jon. :/

Get off your high horse, guy. Everyone returns stuff to retailers if it's within the grace period. The real buffoon is whoever manages Nintendo's e-shop.

Oh, I misread the article. Skimmed too fast on my mobile this morning.

I read the first article, an I'm so glad this worked out for the guy. I know how frustrating it can be to lose digital purchases through no fault of your own, and it's great to see a company go out of their way to make it right. I applaud Nintendo, and hopefully this kind of publicity will encourage them to implement…

I hope you're enjoying those older FFs. They're some of my favorites! Are you playing VI?

No, you're not looking through a clouded lens. While they may not be as "with it" on their account management, they are definitely not at odds with their customers like the other major manufacturers/publishers these days. The other guys want our money and at the same time they give us the finger and ask to bend over.…

It's true that manufacturers probably don't care about the immediate impact these restrictions would have on collectors, but it's not a moot point. Retro gaming is a huge part of geek culture, and taking steps that will effectively kill it going forward is a huge mistake.

This has been bothering me for years, and I just posted something similar. As a collector and a social gamer who swaps stuff with my friends all the time, I hate where this business is headed. If the manufactures keep squeezing me the wrong way, they're going to force me right out of my favorite hobby.

I would actually like a new set of consoles. I'm genuinely disappointed about the direction things are heading in this business. Don't get me wrong, I hate GameStop, and I never buy used if I can help it, but if the tethering of physical games to one account and/or console is too much.

I've heard horror stories, but my parents are beautiful in that this will never happen. There is more space up there than they will ever use, and they supported my hobby. ^^

Have you kept every video game, console or you've ever bought or owned?

Nope. No interest. :(

Where's that worm that infects spiders, makes them seek water and then pulls a chest-burster? I've seen YouTube videos that'll make you lose your lunch.

So glad PS3 users are finally getting to join the party. My wife's a crazy Elder Scrolls fan, but she bought it for PS3. It's been rough around here.

Word

D'oh. Ya got me.

How can you not see the advantages to a dedicated device with a wireless gamepad that puts an end to your computer being periodically tethered to the living room television?

I remember everything, and we've had a very similar conversation before. You started off being obnoxious, as today.

Because I paid for games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, Zelda: ALttP new when they were $50-$80? Because I supported the devs when it mattered? Because I kept my games? Because I backed them up digitally when the save batteries started to fail?

Ha! Haven't heard from you in a while. Isn't this where you, as the dev, demand that I keep adding to the initial $80 I spent on my copy of Chrono Trigger for as long as I want to play it? ;)
