I really hate that so many people can’t tell a difference between “lost media” and “commercially unavailable media”.
Like there’s a TV tropes article that calls the SNES Lion King game “lost media”.
No? We have ROMs and there’s carts on ebay?
But it’s no available in the Nintendo Switch store, so it’s “lost media”.
Like, don’t get me wrong, the fact that there’s so many games (especially Nintendo console games!) that you cannot legally purchase right now is definitely a problem, but it’s a mostly separate problem from lost media, which is where there’s no archived versions anywhere, and it’s potentially completely lost.
