minus-squareLordCrom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-23 days agoI remember when street fighter 2 was released for the SNES. Our store had it at 64.99 and that’s in 1990-something dollars. Games have always been expensive, especially when hyped and already popular But I still have an SNES and SF2 and can play it whenever I want. No chance a licensing server rejects me or a lic is flagged invalid in the future. That’s the difference. I know as long as the hardware works, I can always use that game.
