@spnw@gts.plexwave.org i tend to agree, though some of the 7th gen emulation is very spotty, i think, that will change of course. in theory, i don't necessarily have a problem w/ paying for straight rereleases, if it supports the preservation effort, and games don't grow on trees after all. Nintendo has been known to just upload roms to their store, w/ a hidden emulator running in the background, this seems lazy but also highlights how easy it might be for game publishers to rerelease old stuff. idk.

@f0rrest@mstdn.social @spnw@gts.plexwave.org oftentimes, with old publishers, the problem tends to be on the legal side. Who owns the IP, the rights to the game and all stuff.
