While I appreciate finally adding in multiplayer having to cut out content to make room for the new stuff kind of defeats the purpose of an improved version.
@10basetom I mean for all the people complaining are unaware that NEC, Motorola, Martian Marietta/Sega and others involved with flight simulators have all had involvement with defence suppliers. Are we going to boycott them as well? Like come on guys, get off your high horses! π
@snk2d4life Unfortunately the remastered version didn't have that luxury.
@kirby2000 Typical Blaze.

"No, from my perspective, I didn't want it to be called Sensible precisely because people would compare it to Sensible World of Soccer, which is the best game I've ever made, and they would almost inevitably compare it negatively."
I get what he means about not wanting to tarnish the Sensible name people are going to compare Social to Sensible anyway.

Shenmue is an interesting choice. I can't argue for or against it being on the list. To be honest would be more shocked if Mario 64 was voted top place.
I ended up being proven correct. The framing of poor, heroic Karl against rich, bad Billy really sent red flags since Karl is essentially no better than Billy. Karl even said at one point he only did the lawsuit to get one over Billy, to show he's the winner. Karl's own ego and bias doomed his credibility, of course no doubt it will be those fans who paid for his court proceedings that will pay for his fee.
@Daniel36 I think the best tool I found for AI so far which studios need to begin employing is using AI to digitally upscale TV shows stuck on video. For animated TV unless they want to spend millions reanimating a TV show they need to use train AI to upscale old cartoons.
