ex-parrot: DFJustin: What is the point of holding back these builds like a lot of developers do? Is it a legal agreement with publishers or what? The devs for development hell/vaporware/scrapped games know they have a fan base that would really like to see it. Maybe a stupid question. But asked anyway. :) |

in the context of arcade prototypes I've heard that you have to physically destroy the boards in order for it to qualify as a tax write-off |
|
00:09
🔗
|
DFJustin |
but I don't know if that's really true or not |

lots of times you have to completely disable things for tax purposes |

phone museum in seattle got bunch of equipment with all the cables cut, had to fix them manually |

I think it's mostly big company bureaucracy, with smaller studios you do see more of that kind of stuff officially released, like LameDuke |

I think actually the measure is "costlier to repair than replace" |

DFJustin |
but in a big company it has to go through legal and 3 layers of management and there's no money angle |

|
DFJustin |
all it takes is one guy in a suit going "it hasn't been tested or trademark cleared or etc, what if we get sued" |
|
00:17

|
DFJustin |
and a lot of times the assets or concepts from canned games do get recycled in some form later |
|
00:18
🔗
|
DFJustin |
so the default mentality is always going to be to hoard everything just in case |
|
00:22
🔗
|
DFJustin |
like, 1 year later it's "well maybe it'll still come out at some point" and then 10 years later it's "the only copy is on a floppy disk behind the break room fridge demagnetizing" |
|
00:27
🔗
|
DFJustin |
so there's usually not much of a window where it's both too old to ever be commercially valuable and new enough that anyone still has it or knows how to compile it |

MAMEDEV has access to some Bally prototypes like Ms. Gorf but they only exist as FORTH source code on 8" floppies so that's been an adventure |

I've never realized until recently how much actual control Adobe has over the PDF format- it sucks, even more so because you don't actually notice it until you're hip-deep in documents that only Adobe renders perfectly |
