Digitial distribution will harm game preservation and archival.

Feels good to be in the club.

>>388987069
considering this game is playable via emulation, I think we're doing just fine

There are some games that haven genuinely been lost to time. That's not one of them OP

Why do you faggots revere this shitty, Bazinga-ass RCR clone?
And which one of you will pay the most for my 360 with a copy on it?

Scott Pilgrim
After Burner Climax
Outrun Online Arcade

All still on my 360 and I plan to keep it that way

>tfw in the top 1% on after burner leaderboards knowing no new players can knock me down from my high place

Thank you, Best Buy. Even if I had to get someone with a USA card to pay for it and then I had to pay them the cost plus tip. Fucking worth it.

Hey I just beat that yesterday. Gameplay is kind of unpolished but the visuals, music and adaption easily carry it.

>>388987069
How is digital distribution going to harm anything? The game you just posted is playable on an emulator RIGHT NOW.

>>388988575
you must be new

I know the the creator of the series says his trying his best to get it released again. But I really hope when he does there's a physical version.

Do you realise what you've just written?
The fact that an Emulator exists is just digging us out of a hole that the problems with digital distribution got us in in the first place.

A few years ago there was no emulator and no way to play the game.

Plus all the other games out there on other systems you can't emulate easily and aren't available anymore. Satellaview games, Metal Gear Mobile, Before Crisis, lots of SEGA's online releases - one specific solution doesn't solve the entire problem

Digital distribution in and of itself is not the problem, for instance GoG or DRM-free Humble Bundle games are digitally distributed as installers, you can save those and use them forever, just as you would physical media. The problem is with the way it is implemented in most cases and how it's tied with DRM. DRM is obviously dangerous to archival, if online DRM servers go down, games may become unplayable without resorting to piracy. Secondly, most PC digital distribution platforms do not provide a friendly, complete installer for the user to save, even if the game is DRM free (like DRM-free PC games), so archival is still difficult for the average user.

It's much worse on consoles too, since the the entire console is locked down and the corporation has everybody's balls in a vice grip, saving an installer doesn't even come into question, not to mention that console hardware becomes obsolete, will no longer be produced and eventually breaks down, thus essentially leaving archival of old console games in the hands of community-driven unofficial emulators and game rips.

If you bought it, you can redownload it.

It's been delisted from sale, not removed entirely
