Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade

Old games rock. I recently played Prince of Persia; Warrior Within and there was no console update, game patch to download, daily login reward, update centre telling me updates I may have missed. None of that crap. Power-on, loading scree, game time, done!

Modern games are designed like a full-time job that you pay to work for the company.

I recently replayed Warrior Within as well.

I should say, there’s still plenty of modern games that don’t involve those kinds of things.

  Hollow Knight, both the original as well as Silksong play exactly like that.

    Hades 2 & Mewgenics are my two most recent ‘Just the Game’ games.

  Bg3, resident evil village, oblivion remake, elden ring, cyberpunk, and I’m sure there are more those are just the ones I’ve played recently that don’t have any of those mechanics.

I love old games

New games, not so much

And no social media graffiti on the title screen.

I’m still weirded out by that, all these years later.

Check out Titanium Court

It’s very old school. Very impressive
