I haven't seen it, but I'll take your word on it given Mikes track record. When I posted that, I hadn't seen any follow up to that at that time. At this rate I just want to wait and see what potential disaster (or not) that'll be baked up for that toy show they got Coleco on the hook with. Mike is an ass, he's not the only one given some other idiots out there trying to setup failed gaming magazines panhandling for scraps each year, one dude chronicling the details of wikipedia and other sites into a book with a few pics for $50, and other youtube failures like Pat and his publishing etc that go on. There's plenty of bad and dumb people to go around who have cashed in on the hobby or at least have attempted to.
Honestly between the price games people pull with old titles scaring people into paying more on faux rares and legit ones, youtube find/fear or brag videos, people like Mike and the others I noted it's a huge reason why I don't play games like I used to as they sucked the fun out of much of the old, and the industry on the whole with overpriced games and the play it safe yearly tripe I don't buy much anymore. I'm finding digging into gameboy(all) and genesis at this rate the only thing left I can get somewhat of a rise out of along with few games a year on 3ds and ps4. It's also why I got a beefy laptop to last me many years so I can look back decades or just a few years once all the bugs are out and I can find something people agree doesn't suck to blow a few bucks on. That may sound more down than up but it's the reality of it and to think just 2-3 years ago I was raring to go hunting for stuff and enjoying it still which is pretty sad. Speaking of which I got a couple small Lego sets today from the 90s that have zero chance of being disappointing I have to build still.
I re-read the new posts on the thread I linked on that other post, don't see Mike talking smack and accusing people, do you have a link as I'd like to read it, or is it some dumb twitter account as I don't use that.
