Older games had CDs with patched files, but these were either very big franchise/well selling games or the old "best of" re-releases whenever some distributor got the rights to sell older games. Patches are easy to DL for most of the world nowadays, so I don't expect people to really care about it.

Guess that's true, but even then the changes don't seem that big. I can imagine RTS games have been made more user friendly, knowing from my experiences with AOE. One one hand I dislike that it's all standardized, but atleast it prevents tank controls for human characters. I didn't dislike most UIs of the older games I played, but it always took getting used to if the menu was required for gameplay. Guess that's why it's standardized now and they mostly change the menu fluff. Hope it gets better. Konami is a well known example, but I can't help but wonder how many other companies act like that. I assume most of the bigger native ones do. From the few bits I picked up on that, it's one of his campaign promises and I don't think it's a huge deal politically. Not as much religious/think of the children outrage over there it seems. Also it's still just 1 politician's promise. even if he'd actually care, who else would? Though on the other hand would anyone be actively against it?

Bit surreal yeah. Apparently it happened in 2012 (Prada) as a publicity thing for 25 years FF and Arena Homme+ (a magazine). The editor said "our focus was a world of direction and escapism", just a bunch of nonsense. Both got their publicity. Same goes for the later Louis Vuitton handbag one, just different companies. Apparently they "interviewed" her as well. I guess it's all harmless cross promotion. Checking that stuff out also reminded me that XV's was unveiled at E3 2006, so development was already underway. What a troubled game.

That's pretty cool. Saw a similar item floating about, but that was a special edition of a Hanihon with some extra pin/medal. That didn't really go fast, but it's only really something for hardcore collectors I'm guessing. I'm just biding my time now, waiting for the few things which aren't out there yet. So mostly books/mags. I should look into pre-order discs, older discs of those never got dumped. Well I was thinking more that a webstore (like Amazon or Suruga-ya) would add an invoice, something like that. I know, I tend to stick to the auctions or other junk/webshops I can use. Amazon's a last resort as I need to use a different proxy as well. Atleast the naming of it is more honest.
