@SonOfVon Sure, though your two comments directed at me have little in common. The first one was implying this was an ad / paid-for article, which is ridiculous as a) that would have to be declared and b) I spend half the article being critical of it. I've never so much as exchanged social media follows never mind words with Tommy Tallarico, I was writing about the Amico's take on physical media / downloads as I saw the video and looked into it. That's just my job.
The reason I wrote this, as Damien has also said, is because it's a bit of a different take on physical / download ownership, which is pretty relevant to modern gaming. But for the record I am not personally a fan of NFTs and blockchain tech, hence the paragraph highlighting that there are ongoing issues and controversies such as climate impact, and the complete lack of regulation.
But, I would like to see download stores from Ninty et al find a better way to give more convincing 'ownership' of downloads, and it'd be neat to be able to pass on and share DL games like we do with physical copies (my preference is just through accounts, utilising our user data / cloud / whatever). So I'd love to be able to pass my brother a copy of a DL when I'm done, even if it is then locked / removed from my account until he 'passes' it back. Features like that would be welcome imo.
@RantingThespian Because the Neo Geo's been a big part of the Wii Virtual Console, for one. And we wanted to, as retro features are part of our passion, too.

@SonOfVon So you didn't read it then.
