What could work would be an android based system, that takes flash cards housed in a cart shell. large library already available. |

The system nees to go two ways. Open Android based hardware which plays flash cards in a cart which you put on yourself. On the other hand I absolutely want retro download only games like I said, Axiom Verge!!!!!, to come out for it on a flash based cartridge with box and manual! The question is how to stop pirating them. |
| sheep2001:
Well, I'm guessing that those really interested would want to buy it for the box/manual etc, and those that pirate wouldn't buy anyway. So if it's aimed towards the collectors market piracy won't actually hurt sales a great deal. It's always going to be a niche system though, they'll need production and distribution costs to be near floor level for it to work. |

I fear that the retail versions of their games will be around 100 Euro or more to give them some profit. |

I posted about this to a Facebook group i regularly read thinking they would like the idea. The responses I heard were all negative whining shitty responses like 'remember the Ouya' and 'why have carts, I will just play games on my PC' and 'digital is the way to go, fuck physical games'....it was a cyclone of fucking negativity. I guess that is further proof this place is my home for nerding out. :) I'm stoked for the idea and I plan on kickstarting it. :) |
