          I agree with this rant. I've seen it coming for a long while and has been a major reason why the last console I bought was a Wii.
          every time I hear about someone waiting 3 hours to play something or other because updates, I just die a little more inside but then remember how many updates a SNES cartridge needs. sure I have a steam account which means those games are beholden to the servers remaining up, but for almost all of them (mainly humble bundle games with a few notable exceptions - HL2, Portal 1&2) I can download an installer for each one of them and store that safely (LOL!) somewhere.

            Darn. I just upgraded my graphics card and I have a spare 7950 lying around. I have learned to loathe integrated graphics over the years. Well at least it is AMD integrated graphics.

              I always search for a game first on GOG (game of games) and then humble bundle and then Steam in that exact order for that exact reason that I want as little DRM/server/update BS with the game as possible so I couldn't agree more with you!

              *edit I've been corrected it is good ol games haha

                @tyreal90 There are games that should NOT be able to run on my computer, but through the magic of witchcraft, they run.

                  @tyreal90 i purchased a fairly new game called retro city rampage. I purchased a steam copy, gog copy, floppy disk ms-dos version and the psp/vita/ps3/ps4 version. I have a steam code that i have not used. With it you get the windows/linux/mac/ms-dos version if you want it. I have the ms-dos version and the psp versions working on my pi. If you are interested please let me know. If you sign up to the atariage.com forums, i can send you the code through there.

                    How well does the PSP version run?

                      @mediamogul perfect. I have had it on my psp for a quite a while and didnt think of testing it on the pi. I had to find one online since they need to be cracked to play on the pi and tested it. It works great. And since its a better version than the dos version and runs better than the dos version i was happy.

                                  I verified account but it says that chat needs 100 posts. Is that the function you are looking to use?
