I mean ive thought of this. I mostly do play pre 2002 games. And I'm always thinking wow, they put so much work into this, no vibe coded bullshit, no endless updates, working with difficult hardware , mad respect for those devs. And I feel a little bad I can enjoy their creations 20 years later and they're not getting anything for it.

However we know what's coming. Corporations aren't dumb, they see this, and in a couple years there will be a huge crackdown on retro gaming (they already shut down a huge archive). So enjoy while you can, they're coming for you.

I gave my wife my LCD steam deck that she's been eyeing up since the switch went and died. I loaded animal crossing from GameCube on it and she loves it, she played new horizons on the switch and liked it too but she said she enjoys the GameCube one more
