Makes total and complete sense, and seems absolutely anti-ridiculous. Group chats also work fine if we’re all using Messenger - group chats work just fine if we are all using Signal - it’s almost as if software works as expected if it’s being used as expected. Mind blowing, I know. There is no other major chat platform that offers interoperability with services the platform owner does not own. (Messenger and Instagram just got some sort of interoperability, but since they are both Meta properties, it only helps prove my point.) What’s beyond ridiculous is to expect a SEGA Genesis cartridge to just run, unmodified on an SNES, which is what you’re demanding, here. Yeah, a group game of Super Mario Kart 64 works awesomely on an actual N64 with a real cartridge and four controllers - but hey, why doesn’t it work the same on my PS1? Well, fuck Nintendo for not opening up their game to other platforms! They have awful business practices! … …now that’s ridiculous shit, and what you’re almost literally saying; word for word, just with different hardware and software. (The PS1 doesn’t even have 4 controller ports out of the box, even if it could run N64 software unmodified. The PS1 also had its own exclusives and benefits, such as Final Fantasy 7. Both platforms had their advantages and disadvantages. The N64 was far more powerful, but was hampered by cartridges, whereas the PS1 used CD media and could store much more, but push far less polygons.) Why on Earth would it be Nintendo’s responsibility to make sure Kart 64 plays great on a PS1? Isn’t half the point of a first party software release (either Kart 64 or iMessage) to provide a reason for users/players to choose that platform instead of whichever alternative? Should GarageBand/Logic or iMovie/Final Cut suddenly be ported to Windows or Linux as well? At what point does the ridiculous demand for interoperability stop? What do you want, only one monopolistic set of hardware and software for everything?
