I assume it is, bit hard to track loose sales from various distributors. Even though all loose sales are technically tracked, they'd rather use the shipped quantity anyways. Saves them effort of checking every other distributor. Maybe it's impractical/a quality issue? most of the offerings on Alibaba (screen only) are lower sized as well. Only advertising/conventions signs go large. Granted that website is terribly unclear if you try to read from product titles, so there might be plenty of larger offerings. Book DRM is such a stupid thing. It's one thing to just have it exclusive to your store, but to actually add DRM on top is shitty. Doesn't seem that strong though, guess that's a good thing for non-kindle users. Apparently there's also a GOG for books, they apparently state that DRMless books are sold more often due to device freedom. I thought PC gaming was a mess, but E-books got even more forms of DRM and platforms. Again, costs. Retraining costs money and most goverments are straining on the welfare, unless a company wants to retrain someone on their dime it's going to cost the now unemployed person. Same goes for retiring, early retirement isn't an option for most. Infact most people got screwed out of that option. I think they'd accept it, most people are stupid enough to buy a dildo shaped spying tool just so they can be lazy and tell it to turn the lights or music on. Just tell them the robot adviser has a far better success rate than the human and they'd probably be fine with it, if they are still bothered tell them a human is helping it decide on more "human matters" (even though it's probably a lie). Plenty of companies already looking to make nice faces and "skin" for robots, to make them more presentable and less uncanny. I really don't think the western world still has enough of the luddite mindset.

With your current spending that'd be a shack in the woods then. Unless ofcourse you are actually a secret millionare. Pretty sure those games aren't freely distributed on their freeware site either. I guess in a normal economic situation the price of unwanted goods should go down, but apparently auction websites are filled with "I know what I have" types. Not sure if a mint Rance IV or Alice no Yakata 456'd even be out there. Best I've seen is a still sleeved PC-98 floppy version of Rance IV, but that's obviously not CIB. Kichikuou should be out there though, I assumed you'd have it already, considering it sold so much. I guess it's popularity/notoriety diminishes your chances though.

Sure, I only use 2FA on important websites. Forums and others don't really get added. I kind of make a point not to get too invested in those accounts anyways. My e-mail has been registered with a few websites which got hacked. All really old hacks, but that means my e-mail (and probably very old PW) is floating around in all kinds of database leaks. I should really make a new one, but it's a hassle and it's "decently secure" now anyways. Spam probably comes from there as well, surely spam mailers use the same DBs I already have a back-up e-mail anyways, just in case. And I guess techically a third, but using gmail is probably less secure than my current situation.
