Yeah, media and politicians went bananas over it. As such, there was a lot heavier censorship going on, not just in games but in anime too. That's why Dragon Ball GT had so many episodes missing, while Dragon Ball (where monster get visibly cut in half and eaten) were fine. Add to that the anime channel that didn't become a reality, the giant USK and FSK logos on games, DVDs etc. It was basically one of the worst things to happen. Those logos also are the reason why I wouldn't buy German media...because it's absolutely ugly and I hate things messing up the cover (that includes "recommendations" from newspapers, authors etc on movies but also books). You might be forgetting that kids don't care about that at all. They can play everything forever....and they would be playing in a physical sand box normally...so playing in a virtual one for a long time isn't that surprising. In contrast, I don't see too many adults playing Minecraft anymore (content creators aside). Oh, yeah, the autoplay features. I absolutely hate those...especially when they revert to "on" every time you reload. Youtube had that too for some time but now they remember your settings. Dailymotion and the like on the other hand... Like I said, I'm the same. Kids belong outside mostly. They need to run around etc, not watch some awful content inside all the time. And yeah, some "kids-friendly" channels were disturbing, I remember seeing some headline or something about that. Don't think I ever had issues with scratches, despite using some discs really often. I mean, technically, one CD wouldn't play anymore but that was after a "friend" I lent it to heavily damaged it -_- (my poor Red Alert disc) For the music it might depend. In the 90s, HDD space was sparse after all, so a lot of the time music would just come from the CD inside the drive since they didn't expect you to want to install it to your HDD.

I mean, they see that it's obviously a game...and it's sealed, so they don't really care as much anymore. And eroges are allowed in all forms anyway. And they see the front, good enough. Would be less ideal if the front cover would already feature heavy nuditiy or bondage or something, hehe.

Some proxy forwarding services do, yes. Amazon.jp technically does it too but very rarely does a seller offer pictures and when, then it's only for used items. Wait, wait. If I buy an item from Amazon.jp via Buyee and tell them to check for shrink tears and dents and they say there is some, they offer to return and refund the item? The extra 500 Yen would be less bad the more an item costs, I guess. Funnily enough, I asked the same question my new proxy service yesterday but haven't received a reply so far. Nah, just need to start limiting people in the cities and force them back into the countryside. Way more space for children there. Then remove entertainment and such and adults would no longer know what to do with all their time.

Hm, interesting. Don't really see the point of it, apart from it going even quicker though.

Currently having trouble with my proxy service. They deny all the requests I have. Asked if they would do forwarding -> nope (which is ok). Some seller's auction ended and I missed it and I asked them to ask the seller to try selling the item again (only 500 Yen) -> nope (they said they "can't" ask and that the seller would probably not answer the question anyway....so most likely bs, more like they don't want to ask and the merchant would likely be happy to sell the item...now he might throw it away since it's only 500 Yen). Then there is a seller that sells a set of 10 VNs for above 8000 Yen. I only want one of those and the seller says he doesn't sell set products separately. Fair enough, I told them to ask whether he would split off one item after the auction ended (he can always just add another VN to the set...it's not like it's actually a "set") and that I would also pay more obviously, not just 1/10 of the full price. So the merchant would be able to sell one item for like half or more of the full price he is asking for and can still sell his set. This would net him a lot more money in the end...but nope, I got denied. Also, if I bought the whole set, I would have to pay them for getting rid of the nine VNs that I don't want. So I would pay like another 1200 Yen for that, which is just stupid. Makes me wish I spoke Japanese, then I would just create an account and ask him myself -.-
