Damn, can't check out Leisure Suit Larry or Beat-em and Eat-em from my local library anymore because of "woke."

There is zero market harm for a library to loan out a ROM of that old Atari 2600 game where you play as a Kangaroo with boxing gloves punching the shit out of everything.
It's not even that they want to make a profit off of old games. What they want is players to spend all their time in the new slop and if they can spend time playing retro games instead that would be a loss. Of course that's not realistic because treat addict g@mers and retro passionates aren't really overlapping but the suits don't know that they think there is one unique video games market
Not to mention all the remakes game companies are churning out. I don't think people would be as eager to buy them if the originals are accessible.
