Ah yes defending weird corporate wording that you’re buying a ‘license’. A ‘license’ that you can sell and years from now if the company doesn’t host patches anymore fans totally won’t find a way to patch it in the future via emulation.

Okay now 2 years from now apply that excuse to the next big game, but it’s an exclusive. Oh your $4-500 games console isn’t powerful enough to run our latest $60 game+DLC. So we’re going to stream it to you. Also it’s an exclusive . So, then what? You seriously don’t see anything going wrong with this if it catches…

Renting implies you can buy this game. You can’t. You just get to play it till they say “no” and then it goes away.

Thank you for reminding me that Resident Evil is a MMO and requires other players to make the game what it is.

You know, I’m sure a lot of people said the exact same thing about microtransactions in games. “You’re overreacting, they won’t catch on”

I think you missed yourself stating the reason why this is dumb. Multiplayer has a actual reason it doesn’t work offline, you need people. Even then some still support bots for offline play. What reason do single player games have? None. The hardware can’t support it? Then don’t ‘port’ it.

It’s not new, that’s the problem. They keep pushing this kind of thing and I’m not sure why I’d be happy for a future that keeps trying to prevent you from owning your games.

Very fascinating. Considering you don’t own it nor can you resell it, you’re paying $20 for a 1 game netflix that they entirely control how it works for you.

Hilarious. Absolutely not interested.

That’s fine, I’ve commented about Generations before on kotaku so it’s hard to keep track.

Generations? If you’re gonna necro a comment like this, at least make sense because I didn’t mention Generations at all. As much as I’d like to see it on the Switch. Do you mean Sonic Mania? It’s an incredible game, I’m sorry you don’t like it. I’ve filled every save file with completed saves on my Switch. I’m not…

I slammed one of those in my PSP and now got 64GB for games and music. Still use the heck out of the thing.

I don’t look at the PSN much nor do I have a XB1 so I can’t say I know how decent they’re are, you’d know better than me there. I can tell you that Nintendo’s sales are, as always, non-existent. Only deals you’ll get outta them is through a physical retailer doing stuff.

If that’s worth ignoring the savings and flexibility of a physical copy, more power to you. I do that a lot with steam but 90% of the time we don’t have the option to buy a actual physical box/game/etc.

I dunno why you’re commenting on a 3 year old comment but if you want a updated comment/discussion- okey dokey.

Wait, this hasn’t been a thing on consoles? That’s incredible. Cannot wrap my head around that but, honestly you’re better off just buying the game physical for 20% off and having it shipped to said friend. At least at the end of the game’s fun for you it can be passed on with money in your pocket.

I heard that but I was also hearing something like they were interested in reworking the games for wide screen? Or was that just a rumor. If they’re going to be doing stuff like that then that’s neat but I’m not exactly sure what’s coming of that collection.

Well it’s not like Nintendo is going to offer a better deal. They’re notorious for not providing discounts orovercharging for games

SEGA Ages is entirely different, porting Saturn and Dreamcast games vs emulators. Or, if they are using emulators they’re going to likely have to hire some of the guys who write the ones you find online since the saturn at the very lest is VERY hard to emulate. There’s nothing about that with Genesis games as far as…

Here’s the thing, I’m happy there’s no virtual console this time around.
