When I saw the name I thought it would be a video rental store simulator, which had me way more excited than it should have. The actual game sounds pretty cool and worth checking out but I am a little disappointed.
I would still kind of like to see an 80s video rental sim even though I can’t see it having mass appeal.
Yeah, and you could decide whether to stock laser disk, betamax, or VHS and respond to shifting consumer demands for each, while also responding to genre preferences. I’d probably play that, especially if there was a mechanic for opening multiple stores and moving videos between them.
I’ve wanted a more recent take on the Movies for a while actually. I love the concept of it, the weird mix of management game and making your own ridiculous movie clips, but it has glitches and annoying limitations on modern hardware (not least of which, low resolution with no wide screen aspect ratio).
While I agree, I start to get tired of a significant percent of the game industry being reskins on older games. I always wait till they come out and let them convince me they put enough effort in to justify my time again.
Like Dyson Sphere Program. I avoided it and youtubed it up until I knew it managed to transcend being a Factorio Clone, and that the factorio feel dies around the 2 hour mark, leaving 78 hours of completely new content. But had it not done that…ehhhhh
Blockbuster inc sounds cool, I’m going to have to try it out.

Ooh I like this idea. Would definitely enjoy that.
