What stops publishers from releasing unlicensed games these days? Is there some sort of proprietary software code that has to be included to make the game work on the console? Or is it because Take Two don't want to hurt future relationships with the company?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, let me rephrase then. What's to stop someone (with the developer's permission) from releasing the game? There were a ton of unlicensed games back in the NES days; what's happened between then and now?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Maybe in Europe or Australia, but as far as I know you can't ban a movie in the US. You can make it difficult to buy and thus drop profitability, but banning it outright violates the First Amendment, unless it's deemed obscene, which courts are loathe to do. I can't think of any movie or book that has been banned on a national scale in modern times.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
