You just named a bunch of games that have been released on other consoles/pc.
What I’m referring to are all the garbage games released. Think licensed titles, and all the crap that led to the market crash in the 80’s.
Also you most certainly can buy old consoles and games at a store. I do it all the time.
While you may be able to buy all these games at a secondhand shop I think this article is about official commercial availability. I am not paying some random 200 for Chibi Robo on GameCube because Nintendo never released it
This is the part a lot of these corpo huggers are missing. I’m rarely willing to pay the full $60 for a game, let alone the hundreds some go for because of induced scarcity. Let’s be honest, there’s rarely a real reason for a game to not be available digitally even if they don’t want to keep print discs. GoG is made specifically for this kind of thing.
One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure
