    Game Grumps got in trouble from what I remember using emulators on old games haha.

      I actually forgot that Game Grumps only play the newest of the new when it’s from a particular series or something.

      Why did they get in trouble? Was it with Nintendo or the fans? I kinda remember some “controversy” over them using emulators instead of original hardware, but imo that’s bullshit. Sometimes old hardware isn’t better, and all kinds of things can go wrong with it.

        I wish I remembered…Im spacing right now and search isnt coming up with anything. I just remember there was a small stink because some game or another was too expensive? And they just emulated it but showed one of the screens? Its been many years.

          Yeah, seems about right for some of the purists out there. There’s a whole fucking subreddit dedicated to talking shit about them. It’s honestly sad.

          Like it’s one thing to have a semi-parasocial relationship and call it “hanging out with your friends” but it’s another entirely to dedicate time out of your life to get upset and angry over a goddamn YouTube channel.
