Isn’t that a prerequisite for enshitification? Publicly-traded companies are required (by law, I think) to maximize profits for their shareholders, even if that means utterly ruining their original product (Reddit, Boeing, etc.), yes? What do you think?

    You might be interested in Portal on the N64 while you’re at it.

    I’d check out Narbacular Drop. Pretty sure that’s the game that I’m talking about that became Portal, in a way, later.

    There was a good YouTube video about it a while ago but I think it had a clickbait title that makes it hard to find.

      I’ve followed that for a while :) Saw it on Hack a Day early in its development and thought it was one of the coolest ports I’ve ever seen. Sadly, I think he got D&D’d. Best I recall, I think it was unlicensed use of the N64 SDK or something like that.
