Granted!
GOG gets bought out by MicroDisneyWal-mazonPepsiNewsCorpDonalds and becomes the dominant digital distributor of PC games...with DRM. And not "soft" DRM like requiring a client to download the game, either -- we're talking SecuRom-level DRM, here. And install limits. On all games. And games that get pulled from the store are permanently removed from your account, too. ...But, yeah, they'll "sell" you most of the games that you want.

I wish for the cake to be the truth, for once.

They do. First you go broke from buying them all, then you lose your friends and job from playing them all.

Whoops, missed this one. The cake is the truth. PI is a lie. The universe stops working and falls apart. Way to go, Bringer of the Apocalypse.

I wish it weren't so damn cold outside right now.

Granted. Temperature goes up, but you catch a cold.

I wish for all emulators, roms, bios files and emulation in general, to become OFFICIALLY, LEGALLY, FREEWARE!

Granted, but your joy is short lived, as a series of e.m.p.s spread over the world destroying all electronic equipment, except for coffee pots. Nothing exits with some morning/late night coffee.

I wish I had a new coffee pot.

Granted. Just in time for the world's coffee prices to quadruple.

I wish I'd known to invest in companies like Microsoft and Amazon, back in the day.

Granted. The money you invested was the last push they needed to become real worldwide monopoly, they obtain the rights for all games, books, movies, operating systems, office suites, plays, etc and sue any competition out of existence, they even orchestrate coup and replace the government in several countries.

Only the 1% can now afford any form of medias since Microsoft and Amazon have no competition but each other but they keep it that way to be able to deny being monopolies. Operating Systems need to be renewed every 3 months and books get erased after five days.

Thanks for the reminder.

I wish Brussels sprouts were junk food so I could enjoy them at the movies instead of popcorn or in fast food places in addition to fries.

Granted! but they removed the regular snacks to make room and the sprouts taste like bunghole.

I wish I had a wicked high end gaming rig.

Granted. Your new computer is top of the line, has several 4000k monitors, multiple graphics cards, massive solid state drives and can run any game you throw at it completely maxed out.

It also uses several thousand watts, so your power bill is triple what it used to be.


I wish I could make the video games of my dreams simply by imagining them and that they would work flawlessly with great compatibility on any age computer (in other words, very scalable) and let me do everything in games I've always wanted to do (and of course that I could then sell those games to make lots of money).

Granted. But you can't play the games you make, mwahaha!

I wish that no one corrupts my wish about having more Linux games.

Granted! And easily, too, for a wish you haven't technically made cannot be corrupted. >:D

I wish that Leisure Suit Larry would be made into a terrible big-budget theatrical Hollywood comedy. Possibly starring...I don't know, Ben Stiller or something. Just for shiggles.

Granted, it exists as the comedy you see as society, all around you, and there is no escape to anything real anymore.

I wish that the above statement were not true.

Okay. LSL isn't a Hollywood Comedy.

Its a serious piece drama, instead. A Citizen Cane for the 21st century.

I wish for the MPAA to collapse.

"Breaking news: Today, in Hollywood, the building housing the Motion Picture Association of America collapsed for no discernible reason, killing at least ten and injuring hundreds. The FBI, CIA, DEA and Homeland Security are looking into the cause...."

I wish Coke tasted more like Pepsi.
