But we both know that you don't do something for 30 fucking hours because it's boring, or because you have no idea whatsoever whether what you are experiencing is enjoyable or not, when at anytime you have the ability to turn it off. If you had played maybe half the game, I would believe you. This is childish and dishonest though.
I didn't say that I didn't know if what I
was experiencing was enjoyable or not, that I knew very clearly. I kept playing because I hoped it would
get better. Actually, it sort of did at the very end, but not enough to justify a 50 euro price point. 1 hour out of 30, more like 2 dollars. Which I could indeed pay for the experience - but I can't, no method is offered for me to do so.
....Unfortunately, those developers have long since moved on in the past 20 years and all the money goes to a monolithic conglomerate that bought out the company when it went belly up decades ago.
That's a very good point. Take for instance Donkey Kong Country. I have the SNES ROM, but Rareware is long gone - original staff quit, the company acquired by Microsoft... To be fair I bought the game back when they were in business, but still. My little sister is playing these old games on emulators as she's growing up. Is it morally wrong of her to experience the history of video gaming without paying the current IP holders (Nintendo)?
