Well, he was a supporter of eugenics believes. So he had prejudice against other ethnicities. So by today’s standards, he would be a oblivious racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Winston_Churchill

Better stop making assumptions and start reading. It’s about companies providing an offline patch or tools to host a private server. Not giving up source code or running servers indefinitely. For example “The Crew” had a hidden offline mode which got patched out after lunch. Forza horizon 4 always had an offline mode an will continue to run after the server shut down.

Image buying a car that said it requires connection to the manufactures server to drive. Without a date when this connection or manufacture will be abandon. After 5 years the connection is discontinued to deminish costs and you can’t use that car anymore. Doesn’t it sound a bit scammy for you?

It seems like you need an Twitter account for the answer. https://x.com/LittleToonCat/status/1820990390851231993

I’m getting real tired of the closed internet and elogant musk.

Glad we preserved another game from the flash era.

While maybe not effecting games like this, for all EU citizens, consider taking part of the petition to have companies stop killing paid and free to play games. So companies can’t take down more games where you paid for content. More info here : https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

Avariy was pretty good. Then Adobe bought and killed it. It’s still possible to download it, but a lot of the free stuff, filters and etc are missing because they shut down the servers.

This could be the case if we would talk about one game. But the whole Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, Metroid and etc. Franchises are exclusive on Nintendo and they are objektiv good games (maybe pokemon has fallen of but it’s still a money grab) you don’t have that many exclusives on PS4 and 5 and Xbox one and X/S together. And it shows. The Switch and Switch light still outsells Sony and Microsoft consoles.

My friend group got switches mainly because of pokemon. But I dropped it for other games because Gamefreak underdeliverd IMHO.

Also we know that Nintendo is overprotective about their IPs. I guess they think that if they solely sell their games on their closed system they can decrease the chance of pirating. And it’s not far fetched because you need a decent PC to emulate and play switch games. Also know how on how to set it up. (which why I belive, that the onemillion is just a fantasy number from Nintendo in this case)

Of course they would make a fortune selling their old games on pc. But it’s Nintendo we talking about, they are super conservative about things like that.

I really don’t understand these people. I’m currently owning an Honda civic in the default color Satin Silver Metallic and love it, not once has my experience made me even think about changing the paint or using decals. I swear that’s all car enthusiasts care about, how crispy their cars look, even if it’s a pile of shit.

People have preferences, man. And they don’t settle for the default option, even/especially when corporations try to enforce them.

From a business prospective, If your whole idea is to sell your console as often as possible it’s not a good idea to make your games work on every platform. Console exclusives are a big part of the selling strategie.

Also, as always, if you own the money you should buy a game to show support (especially if it’s an indie title). But when it’s an old game owned by a company who still thinks we are in the 90s. Which dosen’t want to sell the game to you anymore but at the same time forbids everyone from making a copy of the said game, you should absolutely pirate it.

It’s sometimes the only form of game preservation we have.

If we somehow discover a second library of Alexandria and it also turns out that infringes on a Nintendo IP, I have no doubt that Nintendo will burn it down immediately.

Oh no. How dares somebody to enhance his single player experience with mods. Let’s forbid them to modify a SP game they bought, this can’t backfire, right?
