Funny thing about FF8pc is i couldn´t play it on my current pc anymore without massive graphical clitches.
So i have to resort to emulating the psx version.
I think this should be legal - if it were not.
An interesting point: What right does the consumer have here?
Console games can be played after after dozens of years if there´s no hardware defect. This is obviously not at all the case with PC games. Question is: what span of time are you guaranteed that the game works? I guess there´s no guarantee lie that at all which in a way is a shame. I guess the manufacturers know very well why they don´t entitle you a certain amount of time that you can run the game.

Somehow absurdly comic that just a few years after release pc games can´t be played properly on their on (albeit updated) platform - if at all.
