This is how you radicalize actual children. It’s clear these people are completely oblivious to the fact that every 10 year old in the country knows among us and plays it. Actual children will see how completely absurd all of this is. I love this move. Go ahead, show the children how utterly out of touch the top is.
I’m mostly amazed that NBC or another outlet didn’t somehow look at Mangione’s first name and make some insane attempt to link his violent acts with a Mario Bros. game.

Obligatory mention that ExoDos exists. Look it up.
Y’know, I kind of get why a storefront would prefer delisting when there’s just a more complete or more “HD” version. I’ve had a friend buy an old version of a game for the same price as the “complete” version since both were up and he didn’t check. Blizzard is obviously just trying to promote their remake, but I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
(I’d still prefer having options, though, and that option should be free because playing the DOS version of Warcraft 2 would likely help promote the HD version, as sort of a demo. That game is fire and deserves the love, too bad the execs are morons).
