Either they should start upping the taxation astronomically or just stop selling it. They are obviously trying to keep the smokers to smoke whilst trying to make a few extra bucks and seeming to "do something about it". 20-50 cents up will be felt sure, but not immediately. We'd see coinpushers at a traveling carnival and the only poker machines I saw were in canteen or restaurants, mind you not 18+ venues. I've never once seen a real arcade though, so I'm not sure what the rules were. Never really became a thing here. You'd see something similar in amusement parks, but that has a different feel for sure. That's why you need regulation, I'd rather they get poisoned slowly by "safe chemicals" than that they give their doctors the honour of naming a new lung disease. I hope it's a fad, It doesn't really seem to help smokers stop fully smoking, they just switch over. The best one is where they literally replaced the genitals with a guinea pig and it was even animated, stretching the guinea pig out. Marketing viagra to kids in a classy way I guess. I generally visit shady websites whilst looking around, so I occasionally see some which put in more effort to get around it. Generally just baking the ads into the website itself always works. In China they probably could. Not so sure they'd want to put in the effort here, especially since most kids use smartphones. In the case of smartphones the Chinese could probably do it as well, most of their stuff is backdoored to hell anyways. Had cases were "undesirable groups" were being monitored whilst calling by a third listener. Which in turn could become a third speaker if he heard bad things.

All kinks to be worked out, most people would want their goods faster anyways. So basically impossible for used. They'd need to get their money back before they'll send it back. I know I wouldn't, unless it's priced as new. It's always a risk, they'll always try to deny anything. It's why I don't jump on "new" auctions, especially on Ebay where the market is bigger. Far more money to go around and people who might not know what they're getting. Apparently I'm covered by paypal, so If I get screwed I'll try to get my money back that way. Otherwise tough luck, probably won't spend a fortune on a single purchase anyways. Just on transport costs. I don't see the point in being able to delete feedback, maybe because of trolls? seems likely to get abused. Though on the other hand the only voting system people over here know is "it was okay, 5 stars" and "I had to wait quite a while, 1 star". They might sell repros, but at that point just get a flash cart for your system. They probably sell those as well.

I was looking for the stuff anyways, so why not grab what I can find. Some of it is actually pretty nice, others were pretty bad... Imagine eurobeat made by Japanese people whose English is mediocre at best and the tracks they cover are visual novel theme songs. Shame that most of the doujin works are porn mags or music, but it makes sense considering it's relatively low barrier of entry. Making decent fangames is a lot more work. 0 problems if it's a lan-only/singleplayer game. I guess lan-only could still split v-lan based communities, but that's an unintended community to begin with. I can see the complaint, AOE2 now has 3 major releases (the originals, HD edition and DE edition). I guess it also has the Mac and PS2 release, I assume the Mac can play online with old PC version. It's a shame, but most of the die hard fanbase will probably try it out and then go back to the old unless it is completely better in every way.

Price will probably go up now, they're pretty quick when it comes to that. I have never bought from them, but watched some people who had an event which went through them. Basically they work as a normal store these days. They have a monthly subscription as well which gives you "free" games among some other perks. The event bundle those guys had would allow you to donate your own amount, you'd get 1 thing. Later on they revealed what higher donations would get extra, to entice more people to donate more. Ultimately you get more if you donate more, not sure if they still do that though. So I guess it only applied to charity events. Maybe they should keep the regular price but allow you to pay more, maybe throw in a small extra for those who do. I'm not sure if that will happen though, gacha's work better if their content is "original". So not based on a game or anime. Ofcourse if the canon for it is vague as fuck they can just make shit up to add. Most Alicesoft games don't have that and the Toushin Toshi one didn't do that well did it? I don't know anymore, at this point we'll get seasonal gachas.

Didn't even bother translating it, name just seems like a storeboard. No, I don't think it's Alicesoft fans. It's more people who want to buy things new. The thing is that Alicesoft stuff is slightly more valuable than regular stuff as it is a bit more niche and harder to find new. Other games, anime and manga sets can go quite high as well. And the statues/figurines are pricey as well. He does seem to react to other auctions. Everything used is probably undercutting other auctions, but I didn't check. Kind of like an MMO marketplace, similar trashy behaviour.
