Has anyone ever bought or used a pre-loaded game HD like The Beast? (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

While browsing around youtube, I found This video, which is about a 96 TB hard drive with "every game ever", and it really...looks like it has an absolute tonne of games. This is a link to the store, and it's mega pricey, but with everything pre-loaded, configured and organized, it kind of seems like a steal (har har).

I know there are other products like this around on Amazon, AliExpress and in and around the internet that have similar collections, but this one seems to be the real deal with regards to the sorting and organizing and setting up, which, frankly, I'm sure you guys all know takes a ton of time. So my question is: have you bought something like this in the past? What did you think about it? What do you think about projects and products like this?

This is one of the strangest scams I've seen, what is the world coming to when there's a buyer for this? Dystopian cyberpunk realness, that's what

I don’t believe for a minute that this person has truly tested every game they claim to have on that thing, much less optimized.

You can download clean ROM sets of just about everything on their list with essentially zero effort, and the difficulty of setting up emulators is super overblown most of the time, especially with options like EmuDeck becoming more mature.

That site also seems super-sketch, but that may just be the fact that English is clearly their second language, which isn’t a fair indicator of quality.
