Whats the alternative, they sell hundreds of NES games for like $100? Hell, the NES nostalgia crap console has 30 games and they ask $60, and you know they could easily pack more games into it. Whether they drip feed the games is of no importance. Its the fact that they want to sell older games as if they were brand new and shut down any site that has them for free.

Here's the alternative. They release classic game collections. Release a collection of all the 2D Super Mario games with no fancy HD or new online multiplayer shit. I don't care if my favorite Nintendo classics are still in 480p, I just care that there's an official way for newer generations to enjoy it without getting extorted out of their money in the second hand market.
Everyone releases classic game collections but Nintendo. Want to play all the Resident Evil games? There's an anthology of 1-6 on the PS3. Want to play all the 2D Sonic games? Nearly every platform has got 1-3 and Knuckles.
But because Nintendo is a special snowflake if you want 25 SNES games you gotta pay $80 and it's hardware locked to it's own machine when it should have just been a $40 game for the Switch.

Worse still about Japanese culture is that seniority is more important to them than competence.

This is why young Japanese studios tend to push out great stuff and they lose their way as they get older.

I don't think Nintendo ever considers that people will just take the easier option, for acquiring media of any sorts. Just make it way easier to play basically every single NES/Famicom game they have the license to, via the subscription, and you'll be doing a lot better. What I mean is like

>It's a catalog of literally every single NES and Famicom game they own the license to
>subscribers are allowed to download as many as they want, with the only limit being a 1 month time limit, that necessitates logging back into the servers to see if your subscription is still valid
Before anyone retorts "That's absurd!" it's really not. That's basically just Netflix, but for NES games.
Of course, why even do any of that when you can drip feed the consumer again, and gouge them for ROMs that cost you very little to keep up, beyond the initial cost of getting an emulator working on your system. Which given the golf game on literally every switch, they already have.

There's a legitimate issue, which is that the same ROMs that you are playing on the Switch and on Nintendo's "classic" (which are just raspberry pis…) consoles is that they are all downloaded from emulation sites in the first place. Nintendo downloads ROMs so they don't have to figure out how to dump them, then they launch a billion dollar lawsuit on the same people they downloaded from. And then to top it all off, they probably included every sold NES/SNES Classic as 1 download during their lawsuit… You guys acted like Nintendo was "doing a good thing" and "doing the right thing" when they started fucking up your legal system by abusing the DMCA and changing the precedent of the law when it came to YouTubers, and every time after that when they did something fucked up you would root like Nintendo was "our guy" and they were "doing a good thing" when they ruined the gaming industry and the legal system.

My issue with story in video games is that it's the only medium where someone sees the victory in defeat meme as acceptable writing. Games where you have to fight a boss, if you win you lose anyway, and if you lose you either get a game over (illogical) or you lose in the cutscene as well (makes sense). The most unsatisfying thing I find is when you defeat a really hard enemy, only to get fucking destroyed by them in the cutscene. Some fuckers like to argue that this makes it "more satisfying" later when you accumulate godlike powers and then stomp them once and for all, but for me it's sour grapes.
That said, there are some franchises which to my recollection have never done this. I don't remember this being an issue in say Dark Souls (though the writing is so vague/open ended to allow for players to interpret things for themselves, and this can be a bit annoying), or Bethesda games (though they're so sloppy, and there's situations where they force you to go down shitty routes, like not being able to send a super mutant in to do the job to force you or another human to die of radiation), etc.
I wouldn't call Beth games good story or good gameplay, but they are good for wasting your time. But aside from Souls games, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners I can't think of any games where I enjoyed the story enough to warrant wanting to replay said games, whereas I can name dozens of games where the gameplay made me want to replay them (and the Souls games and Dark Corners falls on this list as well).

I still believe that a lot of those classic NES games that aren't major series (Eg: Tennis, Urban Champion, DK Jr Math) don't sell that well at all, when there are better games out there (SMB, Zelda, Punch Out). While games like the GCN version of Animal Crossing showed that people don't seem to mind when the NES game selection is crappy but free.
I wouldn't be surprised if this "free" NES games modified with online play dripfeed is to get more people to experience these lesser games (which they would have never bought back on the Wii/WiiU/3DS VC). Those users had a certain limit of purchasing for only the "good" VC titles.

Jesus christ, I just want to play fucking video games. How is this such a difficult concept to grasp? I don't care about nintendo's legal department being shits, that has nothing do do with their developers. The reason I buy nintendo's shit isn't because i'm some super fan, I don't even particularly care for a lot of their games, I buy them because they have a selection of games that I like to play, games that I can't play on other platforms. It's not rocket science, if a product is good then i'll enjoy using it but if it's bad then I won't. I think the switch is a good console, I like how its designed and it's enjoying viability which means I can play more games that's the secret. I got a 3ds for the same reason, or I guess i'm a fanboy that hotglues amiiboos and throws a temper tantrum at gamestop because i'm a couple goodboy points short of buying the new pokemon.
I'm so fucking tired of this attitude where if you play any sort of game you have screen the developer with a endlessly and if they say anything that's considered haram you shouldn't buy their games, and if you do you're a cuck/retard/shill etc. It's fucking stupid. The reason I don't buy a lot of SJW made games is because 9 times out of 10 they're fucking bad, shocking I know. But occasionally they're good, I thought nuclear throne was good. Not a masterpiece or anything, but it's better than most of the bullshit indies shit out these days.

Legally, if the rights were completely abandoned when the company went defunct it's up for grabs for anyone, otherwise, it'd belong to the rightsholder, be it a company that bought the rights to a collapsing company or a head or employee who walked off with the rights.
Unlicensed games are roughly the same situation, although more likely than not it'll belong to some random jerkoff.

Interesting story with that, it's a very modern precedent that stands on no real legal grounds. It only exists because Twitch in its inception went out of its way to beg developers to sign agreements, or in most cases, just basically state, that they weren't going to sue you for streaming their shit. There were emails sent out about which games were "okay" and "not okay" to stream, and it simply became a precedent over time due to Twitch's growth. However, taken to a court of law, Nintendo or any other company could win, and most likely will win.
As for roms, I'd be more concerned about the way they're selling them and the practices they engage with them than where they got them from.
Trust me, I'm not defending any of this shit, I've been working with the rom backup thread, that's just some interesting stuff I thought of when reading your post.
>>15306466
It technically falls under abandonware, but Nintendo has struck down sites that don't even host their games anymore. That, and with abandonware only being a colloquialism and not having any legal stance, it's not something that should be relied on for console roms.

The "anti-dev" thing actually worked out better for the consumers in the end, since it was an attempt to enforce some level of quality control by limiting devs to releasing five games a year, so instead of just shitting out tons of crap and hoping something sticks, which is a large part of what caused the crash in the first place, they were motivated to actually put some fucking effort in and make things that were actually good or just cheated and made shell companies, like Konami did with Ultra

Shills have been here for awhile. The virtue signalling fags have probably started coming since the end of winter this year, when this site has started being name-dropped in the mainstream circles.

That is probably the plan. If you outright destroy an imageboard, or replace the staff and fuck with the users, they'll just go elsewhere and set up another. But if you slowly attract increasingly shitty people that clearly don't belong in larger and larger amounts, the original base is eventually drowned out while the retard newfags act like they're oldfags, and the actual oldfags will eventually just leave the medium entirely. And even i there was another exodus, chances are the riffraff would just follow. Also, consider taking a look at overchan: that place is a fucking graveyard of dead imageboards. There are very few active western imageboards these days, and of the ones that remain, there's not really a better option than what we have here now, that isn't a likely honeypot.
But in general, 8ch has pretty much been getting attention from places it shouldn't, be it from gamergate, the presidential election, or fucking paranethesis being deemed newsworthy, it brings people here that shouldn't, and we didn't really have the amount of years cuckchan did before Hackers of Steroids overcame its reputation and started getting the trickle of newfags to become much wider.

Both.

The five game a year limit for the Famicom meant instead of sending out 100 cheap rushed projects out the door, they had to marshall their resources to focus on a select few concepts they thought were viable that might not have gotten the support they needed otherwise.

Here's the actual conclusion from that study:
>In general, the results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online copyright infringements. That does not necessarily mean that piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect. An exception is the displacement of recent top films. The results show a displacement rate of 40 per cent which means that for every ten recent top films watched illegally, four fewer films are consumed legally. People do not watch many recent top films a second time but if it happens, displacement is lower: two legal consumptions are displaced by every ten illegal second views. This suggests that the displacement rate for older films is lower than the 40 per cent for recent top films. All in all, the estimated loss for recent top films is 5 per cent of current sales volumes.
>The study also analysed consumers’ “willingness to pay” for illegally accessed creative content in order to assess whether piracy might be related to price levels. To optimize the recollection of the respondent, it was asked for the last illegal online transaction. Consumers may be willing to pay more or less for other transactions so the results should be interpreted with caution. Overall, the analysis indicates that for films and TV-series current prices are higher than 80 per cent of the illegal downloaders and streamers are willing to pay. For books, music and games prices are at a level broadly corresponding to the willingness to pay of illegal downloaders and streamers. This suggests that a decrease in the price level would not change piracy rates for books, music and games but that prices can have an effect on displacement rates for films and TV-series.

The real issue with piracy is that, rightly or wrongly, AAA devs and publishers think the counter to piracy is to focus on multiplayer games and bullshit microtransactions. At the end of the day the most effective DRM is to require always online and making a multiplayer only game tied into their servers is essentially making an always online game without the negative publicity. Microtransactions are similar.

Being rare doesn't mean it doesn't happen, of course multiple things factor in to this actually going through, and of course this method of using piracy as a demo means that the chance is much lower than actual demos;
after all a game has to really wow them for this to work considering the only thing buying would be is a tip essentially, outside of some cases they won't get anything(some games will give multiplayer but thats pretty much the only thing).

Exactly. It's not a sustainable model for anything but the rare 9/10 and 10/10 games, it's equivalent to the devs giving the game out for free and asking you to pay whatever you want: if your product isn't exceptional in every way it won't make a profit.

Occam's razor says piracy harms sales because once product is played through, it won't be bought. It harms sales in other forms of entertainment (music, movies) and there is no reason to believe piracy is exceptional.

I've done exactly that. Hell, I've bought multiple copies of games I support to give to people who I know wouldn't shell out for it left to their own devices.

>AAA devs and publishers think the counter to piracy is to focus on multiplayer games
They're not wrong to be fair, I wouldn't bother pirating a game if I knew for a fact it was a piece of shit focused on multiplayer instead of an actual video game. The fatal flaw in their logic though is that also no one in their right mind wants to play the crap, let alone buy it, which is why they have to target normalfags.

Actually true but only coincidentally: people who pirate video games are more often than not already heavy players of video games why the fuck else would they be pirating them? and so happen to have bought a lot of video games in the past as well. People who steal bikes also buy more bikes than those who don't because the very reason they do it is their love of bikes. Correlation vs causation and all that.
>and piracy generates sales.
You'll have some proof of that of course, seeing as we've established the EU study doesn't support that conclusion at all.
>>15312480
>why they have to target normalfags.
This is another downside to mass piracy: normalfags are either much less prone to piracy or are much more responsive to anti-piracy measures like making a (shitty) multiplayer-only game that's sold purely on marketing hype. The decline in quality games can, in part, be traced to normalfags making up more and more of the paying market as well as the fact the few autists with good taste who will pay are only willing to buy on sale at massively reduced profit margins. At the end of the day if you want quality games you have to pay for them, otherwise the casual market is more attractive.

I still wonder why demos fell out of favor, I'm quite sure, not using them is a terrible strategy.
If the only way i'm testing your game is downloading the whole thing of course they is less of a chance of me buying it.
And there really ain't another method to test a game.
>>15312472
>Occam's razor says piracy harms sales because once product is played through, it won't be bought
Yes but when one tries to apply this theory we just get really inconclusive data, does it occur to you that games can fill more niches than music/movies and probably have more of a chance for support due to said niches?
Sprouting a theory as fact is pretty unintelligent, keep in mind even some of the most sound theories can be wrong.

While partially true, even when successful the large corporations are going to aim at the cancerous normalfags - see Capcom killing Monster Hunter to make Monster Hunter World. The only real solution is for game developers to depend on gamers to make ends meet, and that requires the normalfags to move on to The Next Big Thing or to be entirely purged like the scum they are
>>15312506
>I still wonder why demos fell out of favor, I'm quite sure, not using them is a terrible strategy.
Because their target became to only care about short term opening weekend/month sales instead of long-term viability of a title, and so they changed focus from making good games that people wanted to play into making good marketing that convinced people they wanted to buy this product.

Big corporations targeted the (more) autistic market in the 90s and early 2000s so it is possible to have them avoid the normalfag market.

Demos fell out of favour because it was assumed that they would reduce sales when companies doubled down on pre-ordering as a concept.

Absolutely, hence why we need the normalfags to stop being interested in vidya.

Considering the quality of games AAAs tend to put out, it's a safe assumption.

Not going to happen. The only option is to increase the attractiveness of the non-normalfag market by both spending more and converting as many normalfags as possible. The latter is even better since it reduces their numbers by 1 for every new recruit so a net gain of 2.

One part is having existing autists spend more, that's not exactly impossible. Conversion of normalfags is harder but just convincing them that they're super hardcore if they like more niche games that are 'difficult' should work. Basically what happened with Dark Souls.

Except then what happens is the devs end up killing the game to make it more palatable to normalfags: again, see Monster Hunter getting killed off to make World.

That's why you have to emphasise the parts of the game that are actually good, just dressed up in retard terms. Tight game design can be renamed 'difficulty' for example.

Niche games in general aren't very common and at the end of the day, a lot of those games have bad marketing as well; but in general when marketed well they tend to survive.
Safer concepts that are thrown around quite a bit tend to crash and burn even more.
>>15312535

Normalfags aren't salvageable m8, also your example literally ended in said game being casualized.

Hope you have redundancy and extra drives for preserving the files over time.
You surely knew that you need to verify data and prevent loss when storing data over a long period of time. And with you having a 7+ TB external, I can take a guess that yours is a platter drive.
You will need to re-verify files on a rotating, monthly~bi monthly basis with a platter drive with such storage space.
You sohuld be buying more drives each year to transfer files to. Also look at setting up FTP servers using dell inspirons with YUGE hdd's in them in closets.

Externals are ideally meant to be loaded and unloaded within a relatively short timespan (a few months at best)
I had an old 1.5T from 2010 that I gave to a friend to use it had a shitload of wii/gc/roms for softmod wii.
Said friend never transfered the files and kept up with it, and sure enough, they got corrupted beyond all hell.
He also had the damn thing plugged in 24/7, so the drice head was worn to shit.
Just fucking hit up public sector IT departments. If the town is small enough, they will have a mountain of old dells from the mid 00's. All you would need to do from there is verify it can boot and idle, then slap in hard drives, daisy chain them all on your local network buy a fucking network switch if you haven't already, and get to archiving.
