Wasn't Microsoft just talking about how important game preservation was to them?

[-] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 108 points 2 weeks ago

Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, the Nintendo method of preservation.

I have a script endlessly deleting and downloading BOTW on repeat so Nintendo experiences thousands of lost sales every few days.

[-] msage@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dude, download it from yourself, you will make it to tens of thousands!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean......those aren't lost sales exactly......but I'm sure Nintendo still doesn't like it.

(Context: Most companies including Nintendo claim that any act of piracy is a lost sale, which is completely a lie)

There's a very crucial fact you're forgetting about corporations who say they care about anything. They're liars and only care about money.

"No, not like that!"

I guess that must be why I can't buy the Black & White games or Fable 2. Because Microsoft cares so much about preserving the awkward legal Loop some of their Lionhead Games are in.

It could be them getting ready to push a wc1 and 2 remake. Hopefully more of a D2 than a WC3...
