Criticism
Criticism has been made of converting video games in the past. Critics of arcade conversions often point to a lack of depth or sophistication that these games offer, especially in comparison to titles written especially for the console. Some contend that arcade conversions are produced exclusively to make money, as the design work is for the most part already carried out. This is, however, countered by the numerous extra features that modern arcade conversions often offer.
A number of criticisms have also been launched against conversions of games between home computers and consoles, particularly post-1995.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
