>>55428857>>55428863The actual reason was PEGI and ESRB had decided gambling was a 12's rating (it's now an automatic 18's rating). And due to the fact they'd need to go into the code to edit out the gambling halls (requiring management/senior level staff who had experience in the language used to write the older games), it would be actually easier to make a new version, get the junior staff to write it in the language of which they are accustomed than pulling management away from management.
Besides, last time they put old roms up for sale, Gen 1 sold 1.5 and Gen 2's weren't recorded, so why do you disingenuous niggers think user engagement would change? It costs more for NSO than it did for any copy of RGBYGSC on eShop.
And there IS no royalties or sharing of NSO revenue. That's why the only pokémon that's on there were games developed BEFORE TPC was set up to make spin-offs for the franchise by Nintendo themselves.
