Your strongly worded letter has been noted.
Pirating it is, assholes. If you're going to make this an official ruling, then stop attacking gamers that pirate out of print games when they acquire them.
It's really important to keep offline archives of video games, so that despite this bullshit, there are still copies to circulate.
Yeah, but the problem is that it is now the only medium singled out from remote access, you can remotely rent books and movies.
Right, but I'm just saying the archival must continue regardless.
Be a real shame, if like, someone were to pirate all that shit on the internet, wouldn’t it?
No. It would not. More like a duty to preserve video game history.
One day the motorcycle level in battle toads will be a legend some say never existed.
"I was there, in those dark days. I was leading the charge, on my hoverbike, jumping over chasms filled with brains, narrowly avoiding flashing arbitrarily-placed rock slabs. I fought and killed a giant rat. But I lost my brother, the big pimply galoot he was. To this day, every time I close my eyes, I can hear that beat. The beat of Battle.
Toads."
