The reality is you don't own the games you think you own. I think the best solution is the push for more open source software. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source</a>

Excellent job Jim...

Jim, try snorting finely chopped up Parmesan. Or get a good Swiss melting cheese, put it on a spoon or tinfoil, hold a lighter under it and melt that. Then just suck it up into a syringe and then inject it. It's the best.

Jim you utter cheese pirate! A great video, it's really said to see how much of gaming history is being lost. This was already a problem with how quickly technology is advancing and so much information being lost, but for publishers to exacerbate the problem out of misunderstanding their medium and their customers is really disappointing.

The games industry doesn't want you playing old, free games when you could be playing their new, expensive games instead.

Squoze is a pretty common British dialect word. Quite amusing that there's a page in the dictionary (albeit a web page) that says it's not in the dictionary. :)

I guess this is another reason we'll never get a suikoden 6?? and I still remember when Psycho Mantis told me I liked Suikoden... Yes Konami, yes I do...!

Kinda mean, but not surprising since the project is dead and they're pulling up stakes from the industry.

I know it was kind of spur of the moment speech, but when you said "squoze" I sort of had a brain halt. I was like...I don't think that's a word: <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suggestions/squoze" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suggestions/squoze</a> Also while I know you're not a fan of Doug Tenapel as a person, he and his old teammates from DreamWorks Interactive tried to purchase the rights back to The Neverhood Chronicles many years ago from EA. EA of course told them to fuck off, clearly having no intention to sell them the rights to THEIR game which EA will never ever use again. It's as you say, Jim, it's all about control.
