What media have you found in best quality or even only with the methods of the high seas?

I am not looking for: “I only use my super jellyfin and so on setup because its almost free”. But rather I want to hear if you found rare pieces of media which are maybe even lost otherwise.

For a short period of time GTA 3, VC and SA were removed from storefronts… replaced with the “GTA Definitive Edition” which was essentially a buggy mobile port, ported back to PC, not supporting any of the existing mod ecosystem.

During that time the only way to get your hands on the real “definitive” versions of these games was the high seas.

I believe the originals are restored now, but IMO Take2/Rockstar have fully lined pockets already so 🏴‍☠️🚢

Nope. They temporarily made it so that buying Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Launcher granted the originals until outrage died down, but the original versions of the games still require either a disc or piracy now that they seemingly removed even that. I can confirm that the PS4 versions of the games that were the PS2 versions in an emulator are still missing, too.

In the same vein, dark souls prepare to die edition.

The original dark souls is impossible to legally acquire (other than managing to snag a physical copy, which is quite rare these days) as from soft removed it from storefronts in order to maximize profit on the remaster.
