I just shake my head everytime I see these kinds of compilations released. I’ve been playing these games for years, through emulation. These bundles advertise being able to use filters for ‘authenticity’ gameplay, online playability and such. Emulators can and have long done these things too.
But, there are people out there, who’ll wait for years on end for these compilations to be made and some shamelessly buy them. When you can cut all of that down by spending less than 2 minutes grabbing a ROM and grabbing an emulator before you’re well on your way to revisit your old favorites.
Money also helps game developers buy food. I’m very well fed already.
I still don’t buy a lot of games though. Just stuff I really like, especially from smaller studios. I will not be paying 40 dollarbucks to play ancient games.
Yeah I’m sure all 3 devs working on what is essentially a rom compilation are really struggling to make do at 80 bucks a pop.
Bro, these games do not cost $80 a pop, I truly have no idea why people keep saying this.
Read the comment lol, I said I wouldn’t be paying for this shit, just that you shouldn’t feel bad for supporting small devs. Some here seem to think paying for anything at all is immoral.
