I love that they have Ultima 4 available for free. I spent SO many hours in that world. The "what kind of person are you" value judgment questions at the beginning were remarkably heavy for introspective teenage me.

Movies and TV and stories talk about how there's 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. That does not fucking happen. This is still part of storytelling to this day (I'm looking at you, Sweet Tooth season 3).
Days get stupidly long in the summer, and there's a while where the sun really doesn't go down. in the Winter days get stupidly short, and there's a while where it doesn't really come up all that much. But it's not 6 months of one and 6 months of the other.
During the Iraq War, there was a brief moment where a camera crew just happened to be in the right place at the right time to show the world a live broadcast of a perfectly healthy Saddam Hussein out in the wild, being greeted by his troops as a hero. Except the guy really didn't look much like Saddam Hussein at all. It was the kind of cheap fake that you would think people could never fall for.
Since then, we've seen time and time again what people will fall for.
So, yes. Not only are you correct, you are probably more correct than people would want to admit.
Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand. They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter agreed with the industry groups.
So as long as someone, somewhere, might make a penny off of them, they can't be free. Insert your own metaphor here.
Funny how they use the phrase "with it's data" when it's our data.
Equally funny how there's no mention of how users who no longer have active accounts are supposed to tell Xitter that they don't want to share what they entered. Musk has openly flaunted law before (even to its own employees), so it's pretty silly for people to think that they would abide by what users choose in the first place.
lucky for us, we aren't running out of jumps.
