Yeah... watching this video was the first time I became aware that, apparently, the Kingdom Hearts[1] games are coming out on PCSteam in a month or so. Also, watching this video was the first time I became aware that, apparently, the Kingdom Hearts games had been """""available""""" on Epic Gangrene Shit since 2021. And, yeah, like what they talk about here, I don't consider any game to be properly "released on PC" until they are available anywhere other than Epic Gunk Stool.

Anyway, yeah, I'll keep an eye on those Kingdom Hearts things, and if they turn out to not be infested with Denuvo, then maybe I'll throw them on my wishlist for a possible 75%-plus sale in the nebulous future, but this news doesn't light my world on fire or anything. If it turns out they will be infected with Denuvo, though, then they can just fuck right off and die, for all I care. Apparently, they are not contaminated with that badware on EGS, but that's only because they're using Epic's own proprietary badware instead (as Pat mentions with his sarcastic "oh, the Epic Games Store version of Kingdom Hearts isn't playable offline, oh that's just awesome" comment).

Also, I love how most of this 16 minute video is about dunking on Epic Grotesque Stupidity and how much of a non-entity it has become for most gamers than it is about Kingdom Hearts finally coming to the personal computer.

[1] - I.e. the unfinished LP of which was effectively the final nail in the coffin for Super Best Friends Play as a whole.

Hmm.

Given that pretty much the only thing actively being done with the Intellivision brand these days was the disastrous Amico console, Atari dodged a bullet on that one. Not that this means much, since even Atari itself only exists as a "brand," same as Intellivision, as the original Atari company died long ago. The company that is calling itself Atari now is the company that used to be called Infogrames.

The Amico scam itself is still apparently ongoing, though. How is a mystery, but the scam is still a thing that exists.

(EDIT)


"Atari has acquired the Intellivision game library and IP. What does this mean for the future of Intellivision and the Amico console project?"

Heh, I should've waited a bit.
