The A.I overlords, in an attempt to slow our noticing of the water's warming, has given us the gift of static recompilations and native PC ports. Mad computer scientists are using their newfound tools to reverse-engineer console videogames, recompile them with modern accoutrements to quality of life, and ship the code as a product that can be run on any Windows computer (not Linux!). Formerly console exclusive titles are now playable as if they were made specifically for desktop computer hardware. Graphics and sound settings, variable resolution, uncapped framerates, and support for all types of HIDs. Enhancements such as stereoscopic 3D, mod loading, cheat engines, and save sharing are common.
The decentralized and highly international web 3.0 infrastructure has allowed entire game roms, disk images, and compressed archives to be available from any clearnet download service. Just a Yahoo search away! Virus checking by mainstream hosts and hash verifying by launchers makes eceiving viruses near impossible. The codebase accommodates all common versions of a game; no more need to find the USA V1.1 rom specifically to get your HD texture packs working!
Serverside code has also been re-engineered with some much needed enhancements. Entire online-only games are being resurrected from their graves, some of which died over 15 years ago. Private and public servers are fast, and some offer advantages the mitigate the need for tedious grinding or playing during timed events. Connections are hashed with random salts so no real IP addresses are shared with others who have connected.
ALL FOR FREE
IT CAN'T BE STOPPED
You can play Ico for the PS2, but on your Windows machine, right now

The same technique used to reverse engineer all those games can be used to make them, together with any other application basically, to run on Linux too

>>63736Yeah, but why would anyone waste their time by giving videogames to the type of person who uses Linux? Linux users aren't known to have fun, and frankly the Linusphere is the most anti-pirate, anti-AI crowd around.
