![]() ![]() ![]() It's the same game! I don't mean these upgraded/remastered with new graphics etc. They'll be happy to sell you a third copy for the switch 6, and a fourth copy for whatever Switch gets released in 2029. But Nintendo will happily sell you another copy when the Switch 3 comes out in whatever year they release it. Mind you, you already paid, you already own a copy. But what happens when your Switch breaks? Well, the game is now unusable because the game can't plug into nothing. That Zelda you mentioned, you already own a copy. Technically, they will, it's just in the most shady way possible. Because as it stands right now, the exact opposite is happening.ĪtomicWAR said:Gamers have to protect their purchases because these corporations sure won't do it for you. All I am asking, and a lot of other gamers are asking, is for our rich gaming history be preserved and accessible to new generations. Imagine a world where you could purchase roms legally, where emulation was standard on all consoles to retain backwards compatibility. Our gaming history is being erased and the industries handling of the issue is tragic. I own remasters and still sometimes play the OG for game-play or nostalgia. ![]() ![]() Honestly I think all the console makers would be wise to push for law changes allowing for emulation of discontinued hardware and if they were smart they'd continue to sell these games as long as possible. I am even fine with people 'demoing' a game to see if they want to purchase it (remember demo disks Sony/MS/Nintendo?) as long as people pay for what they play (ie more than a hour), if possible as some games devs or new disks/cartridges don't exist anymore so there is no one to pay. Own or be willing to buy games you find yourself playing that you download if that's the route you go. Backing up your roms/ISOs/CDIs/BINs etc to your PC then playing them via emulation when your old hardware (PC or console) dies and is discontinued should be completely legal/acceptable. You can't buy new old consoles/arcade cabinets or many of the games so this expectation by companies, like Nintendo, that gamers give up their old legally purchased games is ludicrous (or for those who get interested in retro gaming for those who are younger and want to buy/play old games). ![]()
