Toblin is the kind of person that makes me wish you could beat people up over the internet.
The type of people who try to normalize this BS and boot lick for mega corps deserve a good 'ol falcon punch.
I have an Xbox 360 that has sat idle in closet since 2015. This past January, my son and ai were snowed in when I remember it. Pulled it out and found the kinetic. For the next 3 days we played fruit ninja and had a blast. I didnt connect online for any "Updates" so im not sure if I lost any licenses
If the saves are still there you can probably transfer them to an Emulator. Ps3 emulation is getting there.
My PS2 resumes like normal
My Atari 2600 still works!
I still have an old cracked Doom 2 CD. No problems whatsoever... We're talking 30 years there
Worth noting that it's extremely easy to hack a PS3 and bypass the DRM.
I have pirated copies of Sierra online games from the 80s and some of them have saves made by the first person who uploaded them. Who were those people? No idea. But I would LOVE to know where they are now.
N64 was made when they still cared about pushing the creative limits of what they could do with the tech, rather than just seeing how to use it to squeeze every last penny out of the consumer
My Wii and Xbox360 still work same as they ever did.
no profit to be made from that, silly
I sold all my childhood consoles and games before I moved out on my own.
I think it would be kind of neat to play those games on original hardware, assuming the hardware itself still works. Obviously the "saves" on some of those 30+ year old cartridges might no longer work. On the other hand, it would just be more unused stuff sitting around taking up space and making moves more complicated for the past 3 decades, so I'm also perfectly at peace with the fact that I don't have them anymore.
A couple of years ago, I fired up the Wii I bought from a buddy of mine back in '07 or '08, which was one of the early NA models from 2006. It still worked and the games I checked out still worked, including the digital ones. The online stuff is non-functional now though, but I never really used any of that other than sometimes I'd fire up the browser for the novelty of it.
Anyway pointless stories aside, I assume that reply was just contrarian / rage-bait commentary for engagement. I don't know that particular person, but I know that type. They look at every interaction as a chance to "dunk" on someone / demonstrate their superiority in some way and/or as a means to gain attention, any attention, good or bad.
So, I wouldn't read too much into it, unless you happen to know these folks personally.
