Description

A message to Videogame Publishers. It's time you got on board with Emulation. The future of the games industry hinges on finding a balance between the commercial interests of publishers and the creative desires of gamers, fostering a collaborative environment that benefits all parties involved. The current trend from Publishers of delisting and replacing games must end.

This video is NOT an endorsement of Piracy.
All opinions are my own etc.
