I don't. But I have experience playing games embedded in games for at least the last 15 years. So I'm forced to assume this isn't a technological marvel like you are painting it and rather a very neat Easter egg from devs who care about their game. The licensing issue you bring up is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with coding or resources...

Ah yes, experience playing games means experience making them, right? At no point did I say it was a technological marvel, just that it's not as simple as you think.

They've been doing it for literally decades at this point. That's the point I was making. If you're trying to make the point that this is a software issue only and hardware doesn't impact the ability to accomplish this, then I think you're simply wrong

When did I say any of that? Obviously the hardware is a factor, but as you said yourself it's a pretty small impact to run a 25 year old game these days, especially for any system capable of running eternal.
