Those are almost completely self-imposed. Style is important, not hyperrealism, and almost nobody would complain about lack of realism if the result has good artistic direction.

Those who do complain may be vocal, but they're a tiny, tiny minority. Realism is a coat of paint that may impress for a couple minutes before you start caring about what the game is really worth.

Hey, I backed that Kickstarter a long time ago!

Time to revisit it I guess.

Still think those people should have gotten a playdate instead, it's more fun and certainly not less useful (which is, not at all).

(When I first heard about the r1 I immediately thought it was weird how the 2 devices looked alike, I've since learned they shared the same designers).

Take the newer ones with hall effect sticks though, it'll last longer.

Too bad they don't make it in EU SNES / Super Famicom colour schemes anymore though. I'm sure they do this to avoid problems with Nintendo, but I am not a fan of the new dark gray shell.

Not Fable games, just Fable, the one running through backward compatibility. I had no problem with Fable 2 and 3, or any other actual 360 game.

They even messed up the emulation on their PS Classic, despite being based on a simpler console and having full control of the hardware and software.

In my experience Xbox to 360 was not that good. Fable stuttered a lot.

PS2 to PS5 though, yeah, I know Sony's architectures have been all over the place, but come on.

The article made that joke too, and... Yeah it's spot on.

My 80's computer was a big bulky keyboard with a big monitor, lacking the big separate box (not an Amiga though). Is that what you meant with this?

force everyone's data into their OneDrive account. OneDrive now at capacity, you must upgrade to ensure all your data is backed up and retained.

If it's made without any agreement from the user (hundred pages long EULA doesn't count), time to GRPD the fuck out of them.

Game doesn't exist anymore where I live, but the last thing I bought from a similar store (down to overpriced games and being mostly about merch) was a 8bitdo controller several years ago. I was there, price was not excessive, and it was slightly more convenient than having one delivered.

Beyond that... I went a couple times just to pick up a free event pokémon on 3DS, and nothing else, and I think the last actual game I got from them must have been Order of Ecclesia on the DS.

The French branch filed bankruptcy 10 years ago.

Some of the stores became Micromania-Zing (owned by gamestop) which amazingly enough still exists.

Yeah, those have been primarily funko pop stores for years too. Their new games are like 20% more expensive than everyone else, and their second hand games priced like everyone else's new.
