I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

hate to see Takahashi go out on the worst game i've played this year. To a T has good intentions (and i was happy to support it) but i'm morbidly curious as to why it ended up so dull and broken. baffling!
