I sortof get the sentiment. On the other hand, he was an employee who worked on a product almost 3 decades ago, was paid his wages and moved on. That should be it, there is no obligation whatsoever to involve employees from 30 years ago on whatever projects you pick up nowadays.
@Athropos There is a massive difference between using a 30 year old superfx chip developed during snes's lifetime and using an FPGA powered solution using 2024 technology and tooling. Maybe not to you, but to me there is.
I notice my enthusiasm for these "new" retro games fading away rapidly when seeing they use all kinds of modern enhancements chips, fpga's, more memory etc etc. Personally i don't consider this a proper SNES game this way.
It looks amazing, but sad to see they send their stuff to "streamers" and "content creators" first before the plebs are allowed to have a go. Maybe that's how things work in 2024 but I'm not sure that's something I can get behind.
