A photo of a white blue-eyed bunny sitting on gray carpet and looking at the camera, there are wooden cabinets, a cardboard house, and hay in the background with hay on the floor. A small portion of a fuzzy gray and white bunny's face is visible on the left edge. A clock face is overlayed on top with their ears facing towards 10 hours and 11 minutes.

i think it is less "japan doesn't care about game preservation" and maybe more "it is more profitable at the moment for the entire industry worldwide not to care about preservation" because are we gonna keep acting like its any better over here

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

like im not defending any corporation that does shit like this and remakes never replace anything but like as much as nintendo sucks ass there have been internal attempts to get older games playable as far back as on the satellaview. sega has too
i just dont buy that all of japan feels this way

I am glad GOG convinced them in the end, because yiiiiiiiiiikes

I will forever push back against the idea that a remake can ever replace the original

Capcom was initially against GOG's request to add the original versions of Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 to its store, and "took a lot of convincing" to agree to it, according to a GOG executive.

With all the Xbox news there's been a lot of discussion about the inevitable death of Xbox, and in a lot of these discussions both in essay and online, there's a lot of reverence for when Xbox was good, the 360, where they were so powerful they managed to match Sony's worst performing console.

i can guess why they were left out of Ares lol but my point still stands

scary carrie 🏳️‍⚧️ @electrotriple.videoemitter.com · 10h

was just talking to lavender about this but i think genuienly tron was always kinda better set for TV thematically. There's just been too much time in between movies to truly get into Tron and Legacy's Religious and Anti-Authoritative/Anti-Fascist themes. They were left out of Ares completely

The #Tron franchise will likely be retired from the big screen
