For all media. Streaming services and digital media providers have shown they have no desire to help preserve media.

If everyone keeps playing/watching he originals, how are they going to profit from remakes?

Because the originals were just plain better.

Literally Nintendo's approach to retro gaming

Why would they, they only exist to make money. The fact that we let them make money at all of our expenses should be illegal

I haven't done them yet admittedly. Excited for the ps4 one tho cuz a bunch of my friends kept their old systems.

Gonna wait on the ps5 one.

I might just do the ps5 one cuz I genuinely never use that fucking thing. I play disc games (as in wont pay for digital) and there just aren't a lot for ps5..

Unless it’s on the very original firmware, so basically bought on release and never used, there’s no way to do this for the PS5.
