Wait SERIOUSLY!?

I thought December 2020 spelled the end of Aidan's returning from the dead or whatever. ;-;

Wouldn't that imply that Aidan somehow manages to survive the events of Lunar Shadow X (unless the events in that story are no longer set in 2017)?

I heard about Romhacking.net going down. Such a shame too that I missed my chance to join but oh well, I might try ROMhacking for myself some day.

Huh. I remember this game appearing back when everyone was talking about (Steamboat Willy) Mickey Mouse becoming public domain.

Visions of Mana released yesterday.

And apparently NetEase is shutting down Ouka Studios, the team that had made that game?

For f*ck's sake this shouldn't be a normal thing.
Like seriously.

Ugh, that sounds like yet another odious business practice that large companies use to justify not having to pay their employees more than what they're legally obligated to.

Okay seriously WHAT THE HELL

Physical releases are now becoming just boxes with codes inside?
That--

That's like making a book with only the spine and cover, and inside getting some or other code which you have to use to read the book online or something.
Completely defeats the purpose of owning something physically.

Also saw someone on blue bird complaining about a pride flag in a game (that they pirated). On one of the tweets of the creators, no less.
I--

These developers seem to think that discs are obsolete and that digital is the future. Problem with that is that once the content (exclusive or not) is inaccessible, you can't buy it anymore unless you pirate the game, which these companies are trying to prevent.

Also I like your metaphor regarding physical books, because it's something I could actually see companies like Amazon or Ebay actually do within 5 or 10 years knowing society and it's want to digitize everything.
