'Sega Forever' Plans to Debut Free Classic Sega Games on iOS Each Month

[lsutigerfan1976]

Yes Streets of Rage !!

Also to those complaining about $1.99.... really dude... you would pay $5 for a whatever latte from Starbucks that you drink in 5 minutes... but complain about 2 bucks for a classic game you can play over and over.... PlZZZ

You obviously haven’t tried their new latte then, lmao!

I love this idea! I hope it works on Apple tv

Hmm no mfi controller support? Sonic doesn’t see my steel series nimbus. Gutted.

What game are you using? Works for me in Altered Beast.

Also, unless your PlayStation discs work in an Xbox, or all PlayStation 4 consoles play PS2 discs, calling that "DRM free" is a lie.

Different OS and/or different processor =/= DRM.

You just described why I don't look at iOS as a serious platform for anything I want to last.

Everything I do on iOS is "look, do and send and go".

My productivity ends up stored on my Mac, my messages and mails and not only on my iPhone or iPad, my games - stopped buying them for iOS, for mobiles games the few I want I keep Android and apks around.

And hmm, well I do expect from an OS that I deem worthy of becoming a main OS to be installable and downgradable at my discretion and to yes - support frameworks and code compatibility for a long long time.

It can be done, Microsoft and others have been showing that for a long time now and that's why I don't feel too guilty about asking for that.

Until then I still USE iOS, but very differently and that is okay I guess, but not compatible with Apple's goal of making iPad a PC replacement for example. (personal opinion, ymmv, don't expect anyone to follow me, just felt like answering your comment)

PS: no need to hold back at all, you can support old AND new code. It works, Apple just has a long history of forgetting quickly in favor of change, albeit in code compatibility I don't think this is a good approach - again - for my taste. Never felt a need to change my thinking here, because everyone comes to their own conclusions.

I don't understand the issue vs consoles. If you own a ps2 disc it will only play forever on a ps2. Same w an iOS game, You can keep playing it forever as long as you keep the hardware and firmware the same. What's the difference?

Authentication.

If I get a new iPhone and let us just assume that I cannot connect it to Apple's authentication server for whatever reason the iPhone will not let me play the games I add through iTunes.

tl;dr: DRM
