to be clear the first part of this is important and turning games into a netflix like digital rental system through intricate anti-piracy and copyright methods is Bad For Art

The pre itch.io free/share ware legacy of Doom on everything and from Cave Story and smaller indie works... Like Iji Really an ideal world was possible but external Capitalism and Technocracy are sadly so integrated with Western Gaming culture

I think the thing that might help be emulating doujin circle events like Comiket and Arcades.

True.

Cave story! This is cave story to me! A freeware game that is short, interesting, easy to mod free from most forms of copyright and is a springboard for aspiring creatives (like the oneshot creators)

time to figure out how to turn my entire steam library into cds

cant wait to finish my game and release it on steam and high five anyone who realizes they can just copy/paste the downloaded game files for their friends

printing wax records is still pretty environmentally unsound tho. I was thinking maybe a system where you can buy cheap rewritable storage media without plastics and get them permanently engraved with something at a local community-owned kiosk

This might sound insane but is it possible to even ethically produce plastic?

it should be extremely trivial to possess a common usb flash drive with basically every video game made prior to like 2007. i'm not sure how compact you can make gc/ps2/xbox game files but a few hundred gba games is only a couple gbs
