Lousy Graphics
I’ve heard of video games requiring a connection to the server just to validate that the game was bought legitimately. There are games that require the internet ONLY for this. This causes problems whenever the server is offline. This would REALLY be a problem if the company goes out of business or the internet changes protocols. None of these games would be playable in 120 years, which makes it difficult to preserve them for history. There will always be a workaround created by a hacker for each of these games, but that could get lost in history.
I wish companies would stop punishing people for buying their games. Just make the game, and make it work. Any anti-piracy tactics will get broken the next day, so don’t even make me type in a serial number. That goes for all software, really. I’ve been trying to switch to completely open-source software because of all the restrictions on paid software. I’ve lost serial numbers, and once I lost the entire program AND BOTH BACKUPS OF THE INSTALLER(my online backup ran out, and I emptied the folder the other backup was in, not knowing it was there). Thankfully I found a way to restore it, because that software was a $200 value($80 actually paid, because of sales). My open-source 3D software has now replaced that animation program, AND the bugs actually get fixed!

It might have rudimentary graphics, but it sounds really fun. Also, because it was made more than 100 years ago, it’s in the public domain! It’ll be fun to see what video games were like in the 2010’s.
Cannot connect to the Playstation Network to verify that this is indeed a legitimate copy.
Server not found.
Remember: theft is a crime.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the 22nd century one could program a game that old from scratch using open-source or even consumer grade closed-source software.
It would be tricky to get the character animations, plot, & game mechanics exactly the same without much source material. Definitely easy to make a high-tech knockoff with a watered-down storyline, though. I'd imagine computers will be able to watch video of gameplay and do their best to fill in the gaps while amping up the graphics.
I'm confused. i've never heard of duck season. lol and plus i probably never will. i reckon i'll be the one to create holograms, i have a very vivid imagination. especially for my age.
I should have mentioned that neither game exists. I made sure that I wasn't referring to any actual games before scripting this comic.
Bah, Starcraft II is a game that requires the net just to make sure it's legit….. U even have to be legitimately registered with their multiplayer server just to play off line….. The things I want to do to them…..
