ICO and Shadow of the Colossus got bundled together, God of War, Kingdom Hearts. That sorta things. As long as the price isn't absurd.

I think it speaks a lot to the maturing of the devs in this industry that the first game was about working hard on your passion for video games and making art, trying to genuinely make good combos and greatly punishing you for rushing or repeating yourself. Whereas the 2nd game has a corporate air, and such a huge emphasis on marketing and lots of options for cheating.

So this video is basically every existing AAA game studio simulator.

I don't understand how digital releases of games can eventually be "taken off the market." With physical releases, this makes sense. You only make so many physical copies of a game and don't want to put more money into manufacturing more when sales are petering off. But with digital releases, there is no risk. You can keep selling them forever, even if they don't work anymore! Looking at you Steam!
