I think they're living under a rock if they didn't see what happened with EA and being greedy. Even though this doesn't seem bad, it makes me wonder what would happen if other games had characters will different skills and such and would require a different save slot.
Anything pixel based I can still play and enjoy. It's the later games on PS1, N64 and even PS2 that I can no longer enjoy mostly due to graphics.
One game that I tried playing recently was FFX, just couldn't do it sadly.
