Man it really is a shame that as of this date (July 5th, 2023) that Cookie's Bustle is all but scrapped off the web at large.
There's only two videos discussing it directly (and that more about the take downs and not directly the game itself), with everything else turning up no results.
I know some people on twitter were thinking that it was for some sort of relaunch, but at this point I really don't think it's some sort of modern reboot.
This is really a bummer for game preservation. Also a bummer as a person who just likes weird obscure games.
#Cookie's Bustle#there are still some pages like the wikipedia up but everything that has either distributing power or videos has been thoroughly scrubbed#I'm pretty sure Cookie's Bustle still lives on through torrenting and P2P sharing since that's a lot harder to enforce copyrights with#due to the nature of the beast with regards to how that works#but the downside is that you run the risks associated with torrenting stuff if you do decide to get the game through those avenues#it's either that or the case of ''well I know a guy who's got it'' and direct sharing of files which is it's own can of worms#just sad about it since i'm trying to find the vinesauce vod of it for archival write up purposes and it's legitimately real hard to find#since it seems like writing about the game itself doesn't cause a DMCA Takedown these days#and that the copyright troll is now solely targeting gameplay footage as well as file distribution#since websites discussing the game but not distributing it (eg wikipedia & mobygames) still have their pages up
