huh. I do kinda like this kind of story/telltalesque games and I can’t say I had ever even heard about this one. Though admittedly I’m only a “surface-level trekkie”.
Either way, kinda bummer to see it go.
Maybe a hot take, but I don’t care this game being taken down as it is just an interactive movie and not a real game. It’s a shame a media is taken offline though. But at least it does not hurt me personally.
“It’s not my thing so it’s not important” is a real shitty take. Who cares if it’s your thing, it’s someone’s thing and now they’re losing access.
First those who have it don’t lose access. Only new people will not able to purchase it anymore. Second where did I say its not important? I only said I don’t care on a personal level, because it does not affect me and because I don’t think its a game at all. The game is most likely already preserved. In fact I am for archiving every bad game too, that is important. I play old bad games for fun in emulators in example.
You didn’t say it, but that’s exactly how your post comes across. Not being able to purchase is losing access to the game if they haven’t purchased it and there’s plenty of people who can’t buy too many games. They might not have had time to buy this one yet.
Eh, it’ll become abandonware soon enough.
honestly, there needs to be laws where abandonware loses copyright status and allows source/re to be relicensed in something like gpl
Honestly, there needs to be laws that when you buy software you get a licence to do as you please without commercial usage with it, and you get the source.
Imagine if HP had just given Stallman drivers for his printer all those years ago, what a different world it’d be now.
