Gamescom 2024


wow that's a lot of retro gamers. actually i think retro gaming would eventually become more popular than current gaming. which is why some game companies (nintendo) are aggressively taking down rom & emulator sites. they are destroying art and culture for profit. ok - i guess they own the IP but it feels like a book burning.
The problem is retro gaming will cease to move forward, because the past consoles like PS3, PS4, or Nintendo Wii U will always have amazing graphics, which means they'll never look old or retro.
 
When retro gaming happens via emulator on pc's it's difficult to gauge the scale. But when companies like Anbernic report having sold 500'000 handhelds Sony, Nintendo, et al take notice. The truth is I don't have a switch because I prefer my hacked wii. Clamping down on rom sites is happening but might not be enough for the corporate overlords. Anbernic is precipitating the decline of retro gaming.
