Roses over a piano!

Welcome to 2016.

. . . Wait

It’s a good question.

I’d bet it’s less to do with the journalists than with the editors / owners.

Peek-e-mon

Fair.

Disagree, but fair.

There’s absolutely NO WAY, not even a scintilla of a percent, that the author did not expect the king kind of discussion we’re seeing here to take place. None.

Doesn’t what.

This is exactly the response the author was hoping for.

I think so. That is, I don’t know what Steam is offering that can’t already be found.

Hm. I did a search for ““Namco Museum” ROMs SEGA” and it came up right away - is that not the one in question?

What ROMs are only through Steam?

FIRE!!

Hey - if you can get physical copies of it, great.

A Steam bundle they can take from you with a click - nah. F that.

Sure, I guess, but I’ve never had any problem getting these roms in particular. They’re all out there ready to go. I had to learn how to burn a retropie image but that was the extent of it. Other than that, I played them all for “free” - essentially, and the archival efforts of the community were way more appreciated than a Steam bundle would be. For me that is.

I mean. An RPi and a retropie image is nice, cheap, and easy and it gives much more than a Steam bundle. Plus the legality of paying Steam for a bundled version is - tenuous, at best. Most of those companies haven’t existed for decades and it’s not like the authors are getting royalties anyway.

Oh absolutely, just that they’re all freely available for download in emulators. No need to pay Steam for them. It’s not like the authors are getting any of that money.

People are buying them?

. . why?

2000 was bugfuck insane.

The only one I really liked. It was fun - cartoonish, goofy, wacky - fun.

A program to send to [list of firstname.lastname pulled from the census]@gmail.com or whatever is pretty easy. Also merchants sell the email lists for $ so if you’ve bought anything with that email that could be it.
