Just about everything in romsets for 8-bit computers are cracked versions of the games, due to the vast swath of antipiracy measures that wouldn't age well. Nobody wants to deal with scans of a code wheel when they just want to play some ancient Commodore 64 game. Piracy is the only long-term solution to archiving games long-term.
I'm not really sure if there wouldn't be people who wouldn't want to deal with anti-piracy measures. One of the things with Primal Rage being a tough game to get around and emulate properly was not the anti-piracy measures in total. It was that not enough people wanted to work on doing something like that, but other games had similar anti-piracy measures but since they were more popular you had more bodies to throw at a project like that.
They didn't really lose if the game sold millions already on their platform. It's the highest selling Atlus game ever.
You're forgetting who Sega kneels to
I was waiting for a Series X to come in Starfield or Elder Scrolls themed colors or decals. I wasn't really going to buy a subscription to a system I don't have yet.
There's really no xbox games I want outside of older ones currently. Really just Starfield or Elder Scrolls are their first party offerings that I want. I also liked stuff from Blizzard and Rare in the past, but Microsoft's managing of their studios doesn't seem to translate to a shitload of games.
Especially digital shit. How ironic these game companies don't want piracy and yet the shoot themselves in the foot constantly when they release digital-only games that are no longer available once the servers they are on shut down.
Honestly if Game Journalists were Real and not a bunch of Satellite Marketers they would ask this question.
Even Microsoft isn't stupid enough to actually think people would buy these games on the Windows store, they will end up on Steam.
Lol Sony faggots have been taking nothing but constant L's this year
We'll have to wait and see, because there hasn't been any mention of steam. They mention Windows and there isn't anything up that has mentioned a Steam release.
It will 100% be on Steam. If it wasn't they wouldn't say Windows PC, it would just say gamepass for PC if it was only there. Although I guess there's a possibility Sweeney decides to try to make it EGS exclusive, but I would think Epic would have realized the loophole in their exclusivity contracts where games were "EGS exclusive" but also playable on the Xbox app. I don't think they've even put any new games on the Windows store in a while, at least since the Xbox/GP app was put out.
Neir Automata had that exclusive windows store update
No, it came to Steam as well with other QoL features
The update to steam came later from the windows store version. The steam update was also different from the one that windows store got IIRC.
Yeah, this did happen but was a rare instance. This might happen with P4G because someone said localization changes are happening, so a different version from the current Steam release, but P3P and P5R shouldn't have funky issues like Nier since this will be their first release on PC. IRC Nier: Automata was released on Steam before the Windows Store/PC Game Pass edition came out.
P5R needs actual controller layout changes because the dualshock has a gyro while none of the xbox controllers do.
