It'll take a really large scandal to deal with corruption, even the whole Epstein thing is largely forgotten/ignored. Keep in mind that he got a slap on the wrist at first before they backpedalled to a conviction. Make it useful labour the government normally handles, though that migh open up the possibility that we'll see lots of arrests for cheap labour....

They sure wanted over the phone confirmation, probably because it'd be recorded and possibly used for review. I'd assume they standardise, loads of culturally specific ways of working have caused problems in the past. Also it's more efficient, procedures will be the same. A more objective/hobbyist look, sure. But most people only look at if they weren't bored or annoyed. I guess more obscure things do get more in-depth reviews.

Technically Steam should show DRM as well, but there were problems with that in the past. for Example a DRM warning added when it launched AFTER pre-orders with earlier available bonuses were done. People have the bonus for more than two weeks, so no refunds. Sega abused the system there. I've seen them get their own categories, but only on "real" auction sites. so not your Ebay and the likes. Catawiki is an example.

I haven't played or even seen something of III, I guess it looks similar to Rance Quest or Evenicle. And the Gameplay of those really isn't that much different than TT1/2, just in 3D. Maybe it got overhyped? Wikipedia lists it under the original game, they consider it a re-release/remaster. I guess they aren't wrong. Apparently the Korean port is a conversion of the PC-9801 version, not sure how much the "official" remake differs from the PC-9801. They should be different though, the release dates under PC threw me off. I assume the Korean conversion might be unsanction by Falcom, Korea was quite into bootlegging and porting back in the 90s. Guess that's cool, maybe unique stuff as a bonus? Would be a shame if it's just game CGs. It's mostly that I have to buy loads of things for others as well. Thanks for the link btw, I'll have to hope it doesn't get sold though. It's a 5.25 inch disk and I don't have anything that can read it. Rare FDD format here as well as computers only really became a thing for most in the 90s, 3.5 inch was your only option for consumers. The option which don't include buying a PC98 are still expensive, no basic USB FDDs for that format. I'm not sure if they ever distributed on 3.5 inch disks, I believe some Alicesoft titles had both formats as a release. Both systems (X68K and PC98) came default with 5.25 back then though. It's not a big deal if I don't get it though, I'll have to wait for now.
