thinking about it a little bit more, i think they want to avoid regulation...

see governments? we dont need piracy to ensure video game preservation, nor mods to ensure the games still run on modern systems! we as an industry can provide that service!

sure, but if they plan to patch the game everytime it break on newer versions of windows, what they gonna do if their patch isnt compatible with an mod?
and what about people who purchased those games elsewere and will have to purchase again?
or all the games they dont sell?

so... i hope they dont plan to use this as an bullshit argument against regulations that allow "fair use preservation", its an good thing what they are doing lets hope its not for some nefarious reason.

one of the arguments i aways use in favor of linux is that, we have no guarantee that microsoft will keep backward compatibility forever, but if something run on linux its easier to make it run forever, the system is open if anything break its easier to see what change break it and fix it...

now with this program, i have one less argument to use, at least for the games covered...
still a good thing this is happening, now if only someone could get ride of censorship, region locking and delisting...

uhm... if i purchase one of those limited editions and break it... the reapair will kill the major difference of it, unless ifix is providing replacement parts for those limited editions... unlikely

i can understand making an limited edition for transparency, but white? seriously?
anyway, i prefer black since its less distraction from the games thenselves/ less reflective of light.
or glossy like the nintendo ds that had an tranparent plastic on top of an opaque one.

honeslty, this shouldnt be opitional but mandatory, so developers cant screw players by removing content they paid for, or doing patches that destroy the game.

i can understand balance patches on multiplayer, but the same game single player being affected, should be optional, if i dont care about becoming pro, i dont care if the damage of my attacks is different on singleplayer vs multiplayer for example.

Quoting: MamboFuck any lawyer involved in filing this sort of patent.

I hope the patents get invalidated for being unoriginal and obvious and Nintendo goes back to making their own games without sucking air from the entire industry.

there is any consequence for the patent being rejected? because im pretty sure nintendo should be sued for even trying to patent ridiculous things like that.

Quoting: StellaThis is absolutely ridiculous. How is it even allowed to patent mechanics like 'catching and riding creatures' in the first place? They could sue a ton of games on that basis, like Ark: Survival, Monster Hunter Wings of Ruin, paleo Pines and many others. All those allow you to do that

ridding... red dead redemption let you ride horses...
