"If AI coding, for example, just becomes a fact of how it's done in the near future, and if all schools start teaching AI across the board, does Commodore jump on as the world turns, or get spun back out into a parallel universe again, bankrupt, because no parents will buy a new Commodore if it doesn't support their child's curriculum needs?"
This is very true. The BBC is promoting AI and on a program they did they showed an example of AI being used as a way to help kids in school. I'm still however not convinced. 🤔
@PKDuckman I don't mind an IP changing hands as long as the company who gets it treats it with some level of respect. In this case it's absolutely not.
@PinballBuzzbro That could work as well but something still needs to be done about recovering the Pond IP from a company that clearly doesn't know what it's doing with it.
@Ebertron That's cool. I'm trying to sell some newer gaming mags myself along with some other stuff. Been very difficult as the newer stuff doesn't seem to be desirable.
I want to see a happy ending to this. Chris Sorrell needs to make a big enough fuss about it to get the character back in his hands, away from these people. Distancing himself is just letting the character rot, not rescuing the IP.
That's not great, however ask yourself how many times does this happen? Putting the spotlight on a company is all well and good but I very much doubt in Evercade's growing library this is a one off scandal. 🤔
@failaz1986 I have to agree here. It probably happens all the time with bigger titles past and present.
@Exerion76 Are you kidding??? Metal Dragon is awesome!
I very much doubt Nostalgia Nerd's response will satisfy the anti-YouTuber trolls like Simon Butler, George Bum, Retro Simp, etc. They don't really have priorities about exposing what are actual issues in gaming. I had zero interest in Barcadia and due to the location didn't see the point. However, I don't think it was a scam. By being a YouTuber however he made himself a target of troll accounts, some who tend to obsess about Kieran Hawkin among others as well. I can confirm he has blocked the negative reoccurring faces that have appeared on his social media accounts.
@Martin_H Nostalgia Nerd. The people who came after him hate YouTubers.
The game would have played better had they not changed the gameplay mechanics from the original. That's what I hear. My friend felt let down because he was expecting the gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D.
@BausRifle I mean if I had the resources I'd become a YouTuber. I don't think career choices has anything to do with it. It's more if you have an ongoing YT account that you have to be careful what you show to your audience.
@BausRifle I mean reselling his handheld devices isn't going to make him look good but it's hardly a crime. Now, linking to blog posts showing where roms can be downloaded, that's better evidence against him.

Why don't you buy it? Wait...your comments history man, what the hell??? 😆
Re: Review: Earthion (Steam) - A Genuine Shmup Masterpiece From Yuzo Koshiro And Makoto Wada
Again I wish Sega would publish these games, leaving money on the table. 😆

Re: New James Pond Revival Announced With "Cod-Awful" AI Marketing Campaign
@Andee In the first game as James Pond you had to dispose of rubbish I think. 🤔
Re: New James Pond Revival Announced With "Cod-Awful" AI Marketing Campaign
AI has come for James Pond! He deserves better than this! 🤦♂️
@Ristar24 All three were a lot of fun and are pretty enjoyable platformers. I do have a soft spot for the first game as well.
Re: Commodore Announces Xenon 3: Hyperblast For Steam, Switch And PlayStation
A sequel is great although remasters of the first two games with better frame rates would be more helpful at this stage.
Re: A Brand New Sega Master System Shoot 'Em Up Is In Development, With A Demo You Can Play Now
I really wish these had official releases. Sega leaving money on the table as usual. 😪
@h3s Half the library was made for PAL so that could explain why. Anybody playing Lucky Dime Caper in 60fps is playing it incorrectly.
@HoyeBoye Oh you should try more. The SMS library is incredibly underrated.

Re: Got A Spare 3 Hours? This Brand-New 'Syndicate' Documentary Is Well Worth A Watch
@HoyeBoye I tried lots of demos from magazines so that's how I knew about games even if I didn't have the money to buy them.
Re: Got A Spare 3 Hours? This Brand-New 'Syndicate' Documentary Is Well Worth A Watch
That is a big doc!
@HoyeBoye Got ported to everything although Amiga and DOS were the lead platforms.

Re: Interview: "I Wasn't Expecting This Level Of Success" - Spectrum Next Boss On Crowdfunding, Cores And Commodore
What they need is for a company to mass produce the machine so it's not limited otherwise the install base for this who buy the games will be tiny.
