Exactly why I feel this is also another horrible idea to do. The moment you start making content stick to one service and create a situation where if you want Disney and Nickelodeon, You have to get HBOMax and Disney+. I don't think companies know this but we all don't live in *insert rich area of preferred state here* so you're bottlenecking a good percentage of people once you jack the prices up. To be honest if this brought back a resurgence in Public Broadcasting, then I'd be fine. just have to get more channels than 27 and make potentially better stuff. MST3K started off as Local Access. That show was great until it became syndicated and corporate issues started to pile up from Comedy Central.

True on the lack of selection. But with how companies have been progressing, they've started to push more and more content to their platforms. Warner has moved everything to HBO max before theaters.

I have the idea that people would revert to the "McDonalds" mindset. Would you rather go to Texas Roadhouse or Applebee's (Theater) or would you prefer to go to McDonalds (TV streaming) type thing. both offer food, but what outweighs in convenience or general quality/potentially healthier alternatives.

Personally, I feel this is a very close cousin to the issue of games being on streaming services or being dependent on servers. Plus this push by companies, such as Ted Turner media/Warner Bros (who all bought by AT&T just recently), Disney, Netflix, Etc. will really hurt and possibly kill movie theaters. Nearly every metropolitan, town, or small rural city has at least one theater. If you're lucky, you have nearly 20 or more in one city. If every latest movie gets switched to being released early on a streaming service and not released in theaters, two or three things will happen. 1: Theaters will die out leaving a lot of people out of a job and another place where people could have a good time and hang out would be gone. 2: These are server based services meaning, just like video games, it takes one soda, one electrical surge, or some sort of natural disaster to take out a service that is mostly based in California, currently on fire... 3: The ability for digital media being pirated will skyrocket. I don't know if companies know this but there are things called capture cards, or screen recording software like Bandicam, OBS, etc. Not only will the services lose income from subscriptions but the studios will likely go bankrupt cause they have no budget anymore. So here's an open topic for everyone, what do you think about this and how do you feel about it.

I don't really mean it to be abandonware sites or pirate sites. Something more like a game service but isn't dangerous in the sense that you could get malware, but instead a game that works, and doesn't require 500 steps to get the game working. IE patch it with this patch and download these drivers. Plus pirating something like an old Atari game I feel wouldn't really be considered by anyone as pirating. Its like a person pirating a beta-max or laserdisc. Something sorta like how Half Life 2 beta build community works or things like the internet archive. My idea is to have it be more fleshed out.

Funnily enough my voice has matured a lot more where it has started to do a lot of voices. I'm sad to say though that my ability to get that tone is gone, but now sounds more like John Ratzenberger from the Pixar movies.

I had a bit of an idea that involves taking all of the old games that don't get produced, distributed, sold, or even get noticed or care by the developer or publisher, and placing it on a community made and community run service. Sort of like Steam but without taking games off the storefront that are just old or don't get noticed, as well as not needing to really pay for them. The companies aren't making money off these old games anyway. Think of it like this. A company has all of their games that they have released. Think of those games as the materials used to make a pair of pants. Over time the company gets a new pair and they don't come with that material (the game that they got money off of). They don't care about it because A: its not making them money cause they aren't releasing it anymore, and B: They have new things that are making them money. This service could have games refitted for newer systems, updating the games to have new features like keyboard and mouse or controller settings. Let me know what you think and feel free to put ideas onto the current stuff. I feel like it's a good idea.

Everyone I have spoken to says that when I do a Ross Scott, I SOUND like him. Here's a little sound-byte of my Ross WhyDo.zip

A quirky little site that keeps all of the obscure and abandoned games. Stuff that can be found at hobby stores that usually have oddball old indies. Anything that wasn't mainly received well during release and are not being sold for the company anymore. I feel that The Shed Ware or just Shed Ware would be a good name for it. Emulation sites mainly focus on mainstream games, nothing crazy and out there. I think now is a good time for that. What do you guys think?
