Sorry WHAT?

Plastic decomposes over time. It happens on all disk technology at varying speeds depending on their compositions.

Archiver/Museum uses special, more costly disks (requires special CD burner as well), to store data for extended period of time. A consumer version exists, but of course not as long lasting.

 

LaserDisk, CDs, VideoCD, mini-Disks, DVDs, BlueRay, among many other disk technologies, all faces this.

Nintendo distributes some

Yes, that is right. Some.
Companies should lose all their copyright for software that they no longer sell. It is anti-consumer otherwise and harms the company in no way.
If nintendo wants my money, then they can sell the roms themselves, otherwise, they shouldn't cry when I download a rom.
Nintendo is disgustingly anti-consumer with this along with how they treated youtubers.

Sorry about the sp00k, I was under the impression 'disk rot' was the general accepted term for this phenomenon :D

I wish Nintendo would add some sort of online functionality to NES Classic and SNES Classic. Here me out.

 

On launch you get the standard 30 games or so and that doesn't change then if you would like you can pay a subscription fee to basically download any roms to your console, all provided by Nintendo. If you can't stop piracy, then create a product that appeals to the piracy lifestyle, that's how music streaming became so popular.

 

I understand there are issues with licensing, but I like the core concept.

Nintendo doesn't own copyright or distribution rights to every game on the system not would they be able to get hold of such a thing. A lot of the publishers are long defunct by now.

 

I agree its a great idea but the practicalities make it impossible.

I understand, I just don't like when Nintendo want shut down a way of obtaining retro titles, especially in some cases, with no way of getting them 'legitimately'. They make quality titles that stand the test of time, but they don't always make them accessible even for customers happy to pay up.

We really need new digital copyright laws. This is just ludicrous.

Like winning the lottery, you don't want.

You want a steady income that can sustain your lifestyle. Wining a big load of money, once, will not help at anything, and be a curse more than anything. You'll get a fancy home which you can't pay its taxes, you'll get a nice car, only to not be able to afford its maintenance, you want a fancy computer, but it will be outdated next month, and you'll get used to having this, and you don't have the income to continue to keep a system up to date, and so you wasted you money if you stopped, and so on.

Nah, gonna spend it on housing, I can buy two apartments with this money.
