but again, who’s buying? And yes, you can download the game to hardware. But since makecode isn’t a powerful engine and is used mostly for education, i doubt it would be good enough to make a commercial product. As for selling the games (i’m not a professional don’t listen to me), since makecode is under a MIT license, it’s probably legal to sell games. Probably. I have no idea what i’m talking about.

so technically you could sell them and kinda market them like for example of what I meant say some one wanted to make a replica of the nes and try to do the same for its games could they download them to a physical media or sd card and sell the game and the console online for say 100$ and for who’s buying I could say if you make them good enough people maybe could want to buy them but what do you mean as i doubt it would be good enough to make a commercial product.

i’m not giving legal advice, but i don’t think you can sell games that feature say, super mario or link. First of all, you would be making a rip off, and you could get sued. Probably. And what i meant by that i doubt it would be good enough to make a commercial product is because makecode is an educational game engine, and while it might be powerful enough to make an extremely good 8 bit game, it still won’t be good enough, since most 8 bit game packages come with over 50 games in them.

Out of curiosity, what are you trying to sell? It’s best to make something first and then focus on selling it afterwards. That way you don’t waste your own time.

When you say nes style what do you mean? If it is an nes emulator those already exist for free. If it is completely original then you could maybe sell ti as long as it doesn’t contain copyrighted content. I would recommend first making your console and then focusing on things like this. It’s pointless to worry about this stuff until you finish your product.
i mean a console basically by nes style i meant like a retro style console and as for games i have so far 3 games that i feel like could be good enough and i want to know if i can make the console and the games work and sell them(the console with a game) online or in person
wdym everyone knows it’s “the three steamrolled bagels”
