Source code only matters for games made in late 80s and up anything below is entry level shit.

Nintendo laughs at your suggestion user. Reminder that the collection of mana was exclusive to Switch cause square had to ask Nintendo for the third game after they lost their source.
Jose Long
hardly we d0nt even have the source code for icewind dale 2 and im still mad its lost
Jaxson Bell

I really hate this braindead meme.
They asked for the source code of the first two games.
Trials of Mana was a ROM hack.

Japanese are technologically illiterate retards, that's why they need foreign workers and immigrants to do the jobs they can't
Liam Smith
Those idiots at SE even lost the source code of KH.

japanese developers didn't anticipate that there would be any demand for ports, remasters and remakes of their old games. they wrongly assumed people's standards were high enough to expect nothing but new games. as a result, they thought nothing of deleting old source code/assets to make room for new files.
in contrast, lazy western hacks have always loved rehashing the same shit over and over again for a quick buck.

I thought they did all this stupid shit to preserve the dumbass work-is-everything businessman culture there. Like intentionally using shitty outdated tech to extend office hours.
Anthony Peterson
I live in Japan and I still can't understand how something so outdated, even in the poorest undeveloped country, is still a thing.

Nigger watch the news, they have some Microshaft codes now
Mason Gutierrez
I thought they had only lost the original assets.
Benjamin Ramirez
And the fucking stamp, aka hanko. Fuck this medieval island!
Brayden Thompson
all asians are, they're bugs that can be useful in a western framework, but a human void of creativity on their own
Josiah Taylor
BioWare, Atari and Wizards of the Coast have preserved the source code of the rest of Dungeons & Dragons video games, though.
Alexander Rogers
nothing wrong with fax desu

Japanese corporations have (unwarranted) love for copyright laws.
Having source code leaked means that there might be a few people that could modify the game, so removing the source code from existence means that this is less likely to happen.
It’s also why Japanese games take much longer, since they just start from an early point of time from the west since they just throw away a huge chunk of any sequels made.
Eli Morgan
Japanese video games have been ported at least since 1987.
Ryan Parker
in many countries a fax is considered a real document and an email is not. (you cannot sign an Email for instance)
Gavin Clark
The Japanese are old-fashioned and hate the fact that video games have to be made with code instead of muh Nippon steel folded 1000 times.
Gabriel Cook
Nintendo's the exception.
Brody Reyes
Does any country outside Russia have anything but a full mast erection for retardedly restrictive intellectual property laws?

Because most version control software is made in the west and wasn't accessible to the Japanese until long after they actually needed it. It took a long time for it to be translated, made available and become wide-spread enough to be adopted as an industry standard and obviously some still haven't taken the practice to heart because adopting new protocol in Japanese business is a glacial process. Some stuff isn't TLd even today, I have to explain shit at work for this exact reason.

how do you think they make more horses
Brody Moore
I don't see what the problem is with faxing, at home we need to sign off on insurance documents and fax them in yearly.
Aiden Martin
Japan sucks at tech
Logan Foster
Fax machines are still the preferred way to instantly send sensitive documents from customer to organization/government. The general public is too retarded to know that encrypted email is a thing
