    But they could make them again, perhaps as a collection of games on a bespoke console. It’s like unexploited land that they’re enforcing their borders around. It’s just one more facet of digital enclosure.

        I don’t agree. Also they don’t ever have to do it, the potential is enough to be valued; but furthermore the rights themselves can be bought and sold, speculated on, and generally financialized.

      Sure. It could be like Nintendo’s usual overpriced mini consoles that are sold to scalpers first on purpose and have laughably small libraries with Ice Climbers as a mandatory inclusion. capitalist-laugh
