Unfortunately this model will probably become even more common in the industry because it's really easy money, like you said. I guess the gamers who are against this model are in the minority. Sigh.

Anyone remembers Metal Slug? It got remixed as a strategy game and it's...definitely different. Previews have been good so far but don't expect it to be the same game as what we remember from the arcades.

Hmm at first I was skeptical because I remember there have been a few Metal Slug games in more recent years that were quite poorly made and obvious attempts at making a quick buck, but this actually looks decent. At least they bothered to create brand new pixel art for the game so that's a good sign.

You're right. They released some mobile Metal Slug game a while ago and it had 3D graphics...obviously a lazy cash grab.

Wah nostalgic. I used to like watching others play the old metal slug games because the graphics were so interesting but also because it was a waste of money if I played it myself. :x

Weird. I think some copyright just got enforced recently. 
Here's the original link but it doesn't work for me now either.

But this alternate version is more or less the same.
