Re: "I Could Not Give Less Of A S**t If Anyone Else Plays Them" - Developers Behind 'Pointless' Homebrew Ports Defend Their Work

There's nothing wrong with porting games but with new homebrew games it often feels like a lazy excuse to bring the same game to different platforms without taking advantage of the hardware. This isn't what they're talking about as they're talking about whether porting existing commercial games is worth the time.

But yeah if you're going to do a multi-platform release of a 2D game make it take advantage of the hardware otherwise what's the point of having a 2D game on Dreamcast, a 3D format when it's the same game that appeared on Mega Drive?

Oh boy, watch what happens when the White House learn about Miiverse. Mario is not going to be happy! Insider reports suggest the Wii Fit trainers are also not happy with the President.😂

Seriously, is it in poor taste? Yes. Is this a reason to throw the baby out with the bath water when there are worse things going on in gaming? Nope!

@Arcadia_Official This is definitely the best response here.

@mjparker77 Good luck on that one! 😂

"Morrowind, as it was created originally, is not going to hold up today. Like, literally go back and play Morrowind. The game's out there. Go play it and tell me that still holds up."

I reject this type of thinking. There will be some games that have aged badly but most don't. They just play differently according to when they were made.
