>>149493961 (OP)It came out before means of high resolution recording or archiving would've been available for most of it's target audience. As someone who was old enough back then and posting on here, we were intrigued by the art(and the implication that CN was familiar with Bleedman's appeal), but the game itself was considered lackluster, and digital archiving was more of a niche thing at the time.
It didn't get as popular as it should've because PC gaming hadn't entirely entered normiespace like it would with Steam booming just a few years later. I know there were plenty people into PC gaming at the time, hell I played them as a kid in the late 90's. But a normal cartoon network watching kid who only had their family computer probably bought pre-made 2+ years ago and who's boomer/gen X dad thought games gave computers viruses probably had less luck getting it to work. Recording games was more for playthroughs of single player games by older gamers who could work the recording tech.
That gap of time between 2009-2014 when it was closed is SUCH a leap in technology, a lot of the modern internet where anyone can post or record really becomes a thing come the 2010s, and FF was largely dead by 2012 and filled with hackers breaking the game.
