I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG’s reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.

Same with Gameboy -> Gameboy Color, and Gameboy + Gameboy Color -> Gameboy Advanced. Nintendo has a better history than most of supporting backwards compatibility

Again not saying it’s a good excuse. You’re right that modern computing is full of DRM, but unlike a computer, an Xbox is literally just a DRM box. They rely on their hardware DRM to prevent piracy.

Not sure if it’s still the case but back in the day, people would install aftermarket disc readers in early 360s specifically to allow it to play unprotected game discs, so anyone with a DVD burner could burn a pirated ISO onto a disc for their Xbox

Not saying this is a good excuse, but I suspect it’s related to DRM / cheating.

Video game consoles exist for the sole purpose of playing protected content, and they rely on part on verifying things haven’t been tampered with to discourage creating.
