>it's completely cosmetic and doesn't affect the functionality of the system
This exactly. The plastic is marred. There is no way to resolve this outside of replacement of the shell, or totally sanding down the unit and buffing it until it has a uniform shine. It will never look OEM ever again, but that is irrelevant to the function of the unit.

>Brody is the person in the video
Oh, I didn't even watch it. I just wanted to discuss the concept of Intellectual property and the impact of consumers.

I didn't realize we had an up and coming sensation. I just watched it, and sometimes people look just like the ideas they have.

>If they play in your town, and you can't afford a ticket,
Are they playing all the time in my town that I can just go to the (Gamestop) concert hall and listen when I have the financial resources and/or time?

Dark side of the moon was in the top 500 of music charts for over 2 decades.

If they want to protect their product, they should continue to produce it. If they have abandoned it for "something" better, it should be open domain.

I think IP is a joke. If you own something, make something with it. Don't sit around waiting for others to stumble across it accidentally or intentionally. It would free up quite a bit of our legal system and change quite a bit across the industry.

Don't take my criticism of your opinion harshly or personally. I am cut-and-dry about how I feel, much like yourself and I respect that much. One big difference of our opinions is that my first system was an old atarii. Never having a digital solution until the last 2 generations does not help past generation systems. Sure I could download some shit for my Switch that was on the N64, but does that give you the right to regulate an artistic medium that people have memorized on hardware that your own company abandoned officially? Why does the software not follow the abandonment of the hardware?

>Flashcarts have no input delay.
I was just getting ready to say this. Resellers ONLY effect each other at this point. It is like a circle jerk. If you are into gaming, a flash cart removes them from the equation totally. Sure there are exceptions on some systems that don't work, but you have to ask yourself "Is it worth it"? If one isn't careful you can quickly find yourself collecting more then gaming. I don't judge, and to each their own, but I don't judge anyone for how they enjoy the hobby. I know I won't pay for another used game. If I can't buy it new, I won't buy it. I do hope they are able to flood the markets with cheap clones. I just enjoy watching the world burn.
