Between the Big three (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo), who is the worst when at the top?

Its not as simple as bits and bytes. The large majority of games released by publishers are subjected to copyright. Which is usually for the authors life plus 70 years. They can contain material made by different artists/authors which must be granted permission to use, by law. Things like music in games etc can be owned by different companies and must be contacted and consented to use before, well using/reusing them.

So it has nothing to do with preservation. It's just business and companies deciding how they can profit further with their old content. 

You see, it's exactly the same thing of books and music, except you don't see music fans crying about Barbra Streisand discography disappearing in the wind. But well gamers are a different breed and have the ability to create issues over things that aren't really issues in first place

And you got this from one Tweet, how? There may possibly be chance Sony is working on a PS3 emulator because that's what's missing from PSN/Plus since PS3 games are only playable on cloud atm via their servers. And eventually they'll have to shut down/decommission their data center's with PS3's in them. We have no clue what it means, lets not jump to any conclusions.

Its weird how you guys try to spin positives to negatives. Its better than the alternative to losing stuff altogether.. You'd think.
