Imagine if you weren't allowed to watch your favorite movies from the 80's or earlier unless you managed to have a still working VCR and VHS copy from your childhood. No Goonies, no Godfather, no Star Wars original trilogy. They decided to wipe these films from the face of the earth so that you could no longer enjoy them and had to go buy their new movies, exclusively, if you wanted entertainment from a film. That's what games publishers are trying to do, so they don't have to compete for you attention with older classics.

Sort of like how they erased all the evidence of "Sinbad's Shazaam" and then gaslit everyone that remembered it?

Oh c'mon don't screw with my head like that. I specifically remember seeing the "Shaq Genie movie"... Wait that was Kazaam! Dang it!
