“Cultural appropriation” is a very United States specific idea first of all. Secondly, as much as I hate scalpers too I think framing this as any kind of cultural appropriation is beyond silly anyway. These are video games that we all grew up playing. No matter what country or continent we are from, many of these retro games are part of all of our culture. I do think however that you raise an excellent couple of ideas that sadly will not be read because of the downvotes attracted by the other parts of your comment: - Have more places where people can come to play games instead of bringing them home. Yes! There exists some arcade pubs for adults in my country and in other places too. But I would love if more kinds of arcades existed. - Make new games inspired by the games that we grew up with. Absolutely! And I am sure a lot of them are made already and we just don’t get to hear about it. But I would still also love to see more games made by people who are in it for the purpose of making more great games.
