Most of 4chan is zoomers. These loud zoomer haters are probably 90s zoomers who don't even realize they are such. Either that or they are the types who lift their memes from reddit, and reddit hates zoomers for being more rightwing.

Man. I have a son, and I HAVE been showing him games. You know what he's latching onto? All the retro stuff I played twenty years ago. I showed him Roller Coaster Tycoon and to him it's some cool, hidden genre he didn't know existed.

My feelings about are so conflicted. On the one hand I can relate to him because I liked those same games at his age. On the other hand, man, it's all behind us and only being preserved by whatever nerds are keeping the github going.

I don't really like the feeling that some of my kid's best options for electronic fun are not in the future.

Imagine kids playing shit like chess, now that's a dead game! No patches in fucking, like, years!
>>
>>733274589
HANK, HAAAAAAANK
>>
>>733295910
The difference is that chess isn't being protected by copyright for a hundred years and that all kinds of people can make interesting chess sets at various price points. Like I don't mind if we were just making tons of different re-releases of Roller Coaster Tycoon, and people enjoyed that. But that's not what's happening. If it's not being reverse engineered and placed on an open source project, a lot of old games just cease to be, or can only be recovered via piracy.

Meanwhile the companies that control these markets aren't interested in Roller Coaster tycoon or that genre because it turns out financial management nerds aren't always a lucrative place to peddle corporate scams due to many of them not being kids.

That's a whole complicated legal mess. You might note that you're still required to go and buy the base game from Atari to play Open Roller Coaster Tycoon. This is a situation where the company that owns the company still gets to use the copyrights they have to collect rent, but an unrelated third party does all the work of keeping the game viable as the Windows monopoly requires us to update our OS again.

Yeah, how about the art assets and scenarios and other shit that isn't software, you dings?

Open Transport Tycoon is the interesting poster child, here. They started off ripping the game directly, and they got away with that for a while because it was such an old game, nobody was around to sue or give a shit. But then gradually companies realized they had various copyrights and started to send letters about it, so Open Transport Tycoon had to recreate all the music and art assets. It's being maintained by enthusiasts for free, so it's almost a miracle they survived.

But imagine trying to do this where the whole point is playing as Kirby, or something. Nintendo has more or less abandoned Kirby All Stars, but that's only from our perspective. From their perspective, you should have to pay $60 to play that game today. You can't get around that.

So yeah, copyrights are not totally straightforward, and even if a software is abandoned, that doesn't mean you have rights to recreate the game exactly as it was.

You tell me.

>>
>>733298398
Read the post, asshole. The music, art assets, and various non-spftware parts of the game are still covered by copyright for a hundred years.

Abandonware covers a small minority of old games we'd still play today, and if that old game required a specific character to be its identity, good fucking luck.
>>
>>733274342
Well, there were so many games it was common not to play a game at release. I have fond memories of the few times I saw _current year_ as the copyright date on a title screen

I keep forgetting to use that "let me google that for you" joke website from forever ago lol. Within these genres are also ever branching subgenres. The simulation genre is a particularly explosive example. I've got a game for trucking in simulated mud and a game for exclusively trucking on paved roads, and I don't play many sim games compared to what's available.
>>
>>733300653
Making up arbitrary rules to see who "wins" and who "loses" in a fucking internet argument is the retarded part. By the way, me having to spell this out just underlines your retardation, maybe get that checked out, you seem genuinely slow.

By the way the other anon is kinda right, abandonware isn't a legal term or status or whatever, OpenTTD only works because it's free. If they charged money for it, it'd encroach on copyrights of.. "someone". I don't care to look into who that is but that's just how it works.
This is why they can code practically a copy of the game and require your own assets to fill in what they don't have.
>>
>>733301153
Okay.
So how many different genres released in each of those years? That'd be a great way to prove your claim true.

The most insane thing is that games aren't even good anymore. In past not only did the tech progress but you would have masterpieces.

Man, I can't deny there are "more" games, but the curating is awful and the vast majority of them suuuuck. Tons of those aren't even original, but are mobile games copy/pasting the same code, and just spamming the store page because it costs them very little and they're just trying to make back the basic fees associated with that strategy.

Like there was a period when you could go to an RPG Maker website and find a billion low-effort RPG Maker games that weren't even finished, but I wouldn't go around telling you that proved RPGs were killing it as a genre because of that.

I feel like the real proof that we're in a desert is you look at RTS threads and it's talking about the same games that have been around for twenty years. If AoE 2 stops being supported nothing would replace it that anyone will hear about. City Skylines is the leader for city builders now, but CS2 was a buggy, unoptimized mess you can barely play. Rolle Coaster Tycoon died at the third installment because it was rushed and unoptimized.
