Presumably because they are continually picking up new players from younger age groups while retaining many older players, but I don’t really have any interest in those games so I don’t know much about them. I’m not really seeing how this directly relates to my comment, either.
Or uh maybe old games are still good and it makes sense to provide an easy way for newer generations to play them? If a record label remasters a Beatles album do we get mad over that? Music doesn’t have an expiration date so why should games?
They announced it on an xbox stream but it’s multiplatform.
I mean, their position is that they as the rights holders can republish how they please, but that buying a cartridge does not give you license to play on other devices. You can disagree with them on legal or philosophical grounds but their position isn’t really inconsistent.
Plus you can do stuff like reset the emulator to a certain state pretty easily. Without having to reboot the hardware or anything. So you could do an exhibit on level 7 and have the game queued up to the level the exhibit is about.
Don’t chase all the markers on your map, most of them are crap and you’ll burn out.
I think a swipe up gesture from anywhere answers it? I don’t actually answer many calls though.
IX wasn’t nearly as good as VIII, IMO. The movement and combat felt good but the pacing was awful (too Trails-like) and the story and characters were nothing special.
Like I said, they’re mostly scams. Warranty scams. Posing as “your bank” (which they, of course, don’t name). Etc. Legitimate companies follow the do not call list, since there are heavy penalties if they don’t.
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
The US has a do not call list. The vast majority of robocalls are illegal scams which originate from outside of the country.
Mario 64 figured out applying analog control to 3d platformers which changed the whole genre, though.
Rogue and Hack both predate elite.
You can file a lawsuit about just about anything. It doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere.
I don’t remember the details but isn’t there scandal surrounding Jonathan blow too?
I mean…one of the largest complaints I see people making about the current console generation is that everything is still cross gen? PS5 has no exclusives etc. So this seems false.

Does that include xbox gamepass core customers? Because that’s basically an entirely different service, and it’s also something you’d expect a very high adoption rate of among Xbox console owners, given the platform’s historical emphasis on multiplayer games. There’s also rather a lot of people who stacked many months of gamepass for quite cheap.
While the platform has certainly seen some success, it’s hardly in a dominant position, so making moves that make the value proposition of the service look worse is surprising.
I think people just expected them to wait until it had a larger subscriber base to make these changes. This seems like it will really kill growth.
Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.
