You know what? I'll buy Darkstalkers again. I'll buy a couple of other PSP games too that I want on my Vita, and for the most part they're much less on the digital now than when I got them on UMD years ago. The few newer games I've mostly purchased as digital downloads anyway. I'm not happy that they aren't giving me the chance to discount some of my older disks, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't ever play them on the Vita anyway.
1) IF you don't know the ExtraCreditz video productions go here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits
They produce a commentary segment that address video games as a genera, speaking to both the production side of things, as well as the deeper underpinnings. (Such as using the "other" as a source of horror in horror games, or the differences between "playing" and "testing" and even the fall back of the Skinner Box as it applies to game design.)
2) The drama (in super brief) seems to be: ExtraCreditz is unhappy with the financial and IP deal they have with Escapist and, feeling that they have been shorted their due, have tried to withdraw. Escapist believes they are in turn being demonized and gipped. Both parties have come to the conclusion that things will be clarified if the relevant emails are published. (That's what comes from the conversation on FB)
