Who doesn't love a good challenge? If everything was easy, there would be no joy in getting it done. In the realm of video games, the late 1980s and 1990s were the perfect era of "get good" gaming with multiple big-named titles that put a player's skills to the test. The Super Nintendo, one of

In a major crackdown, Italy's financial police have dismantled a ring trafficking counterfeit vintage video game consoles, highlighting a severe issue within the gaming industry. The operation underscores the industry's failure to preserve classic games, driving gamers toward illegal alternatives as legitimate options remain scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.
What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.

On journalistic integrity:
I am wondering...if it is possible that publishers and developers are "paying" for positive reviews and press, is it also possible for the same thing to be done for bad reviews and press for the competition?
We know that advertising companies have employees whose only job is to use social media to promote products and pose (and post) as just an average user that likes a product (guerrilla advertising). It is certainly possible for these same companies to bash the competition online, stoking fanboy wars and clickbait articles. Viral advertising can work against the competitor.
It would certainly explain some of the hate towards gaming lately.
That's an interesting theory on competition paying for bad reviews. It seems feasible but unlikely in the ssense that a site that gives a bad review would run the risk of not receiving product from the developers of the product in the future
