Binge Gamer intern Perry Piekarski examines fanboyism and explains why it is hurting the very industry it tries to support.
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
Sure did I can only assume the article is talking about old-school games in general

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.
Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.

I just wish the owners of this website would take not and maybe comment.
It made things more fun...when I was 12 and people were fighting over Sonic/Mario in the playground...In PERSON! Not retarded mis-informed ramblings over the internet from behind their custom built PC running Windows '1337' edition in their mothers basement by leaching the neighbours tinternet connection.
A bit of banter is fun however a comparision of EVERY cross-platform game released or '23 reasons why my console is better than this one' started wearing thin about a year ago.
fanboysm is the mother of every blog about videogames
...everybody nowadays needs to be right. They can't seem to get much perspective. Who cares who is right and who is wrong...I mean really. After seeing the blind rage that is shown in his examples (and in many comments in N4G), it's clear that gamers can't handle the wealth of information available on the internet. Instead of making an informed opinion about something, they take bits and pieces of what they can find through google and make it fit their viewpoint.
A truly informed individual, I feel, needs a wider perspective. They need to look at gaming as a whole and not as a series of rival factions.
In other words, fanboys need to get out more and see the world. I think a little real life experience can do wonders for their bitter feelings about games, people, and life.
I think it'll get worse before it gets better, that's for sure. We've seen it in the last presidential election, we see it in these national tea parties--we'll definitely continue to see it in gaming, as long as the internet and its unfathomable wealth of knowledge is available to the public.
I dont see why this site doesnt change its name to B4G as in Blogs 4 Gamers.
im sure I will get banned again for speaking out so see ya later fellas.
