Why aren't the PSone FF games on Live?


Carl, are you prepared to watch the rolling credits for the PS1 FF games and let me know exactly who the copyright of the game belongs to? That would be near the end of them. I'm not prepared to, but here:

If the copyright of the programming for the games belongs to Sony in any way, that's why. But if the scenario, characters, and content belong to Square, then they're free to build it from scratch in whatever engine they want and then publish it anywhere, just like Konami put Metal Gear Solid on the Gamecube.

If the programming belongs to Square-Enix too, then it's because Square are too lazy to scrounge up a functioning PS1 emulator for the 360.

It's only on PSN because Sony made a rather comprehensive PS1 emulator so that publishers don't really have to port anything.  This emulator is also why all PS3s can play PS1 games.
