Absolutely. It had some good games...and even more if you were a STG or fighting game fan or even a fan of VNs. It also helped that the Saturn got some 18+ releases for a while. The main issue is that barely anything made it out of Japan (concerning already existing games) and as such, it's not really known here. Regarding Atari, it's probably as you said. Regarding Sega, it was an interesting time indeed. Sad thing is that Sega tought Sony how to work with CDs properly. I remember reading about that in "Retro Gamer". Too bad I just threw all the issues I had away when moving since they were super heavy (and also cost like 10 or 12€). They shouldn't have built-up their competitors. Or alternatively, they should have worked together with Sony, like Sony wanted to. Only Lego game I remember is Lego Island on the PC. My friend had that back in the day. And yeah, Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash are the best Mario Kart games in my opinion (well, Double Dash best in general and 64 has the best Rainbow Road and the most fun multiplayer mode/stages). Uh, that's way too optimistic thinking. People will only get dumber, as it is intended in a way by the companies (and also the government on another level).

Well, I'm wired all the way, all the name. I dislike anything wireless, even WLAN. So I would have no issues with that. Still, just some gimmick of the controller. Wow, first time I've ever heard that. PS2 had by far the better library in my opinion. XBOX was the more powerful console but that didn't really matter. PS2 mopped everything with their sheer mass of games. XBOX got lucky that they still got some games intended for the Dreamcast. Don't think so. There will be some lobbying work done aka they will grease the pockets of the necessary people and nothing will change for the positive for the consumers. At least you guys did it right by banning those lootboxes. Here they said that it's allowed. Grr.

Most of the games I buy are near the retail price. Some are lower, some are higher. Still, Japanese VNs cost like 80€ (the 2800 Yen ones aside) which is almost as expensive as a collector's edition. So I could technically buy those if they were complete and DRM-free. The porn industry's main foe is, funnily enough, all the people that just upload it for free. Sucks for them when everyone has a smartphone, hehe. Still, they could theoretically get stuff done if they really wanted though. Or alternatively, they will wait for robots and the like. Can't cheaply replicate that after all. Yeah, not dead dead but dying or failing, if you will. And the reason is the one you stated, too many companies pulling out their content. So while Netflix becomes more expensive actually, it has less and less content. So of course, people aren't happy with both of those changes and are going back to piracy. Personally, I don't care. I don't like watching streams of things I like. They would have to be on a disc or at least my HDD. Google has tons of money anyway. So it will be interesting to see what happens. Their Google Fiber also never really became a larger thing. If they wanted to, they could put a lot of money behind it.

Hehe, I usually just don't bother with those people. Interestingly enough, most people I meet online are actually Europeans. And those tend to be more balanced when it comes to different views etc. Although even here, that kind of thinking has made inroads. Pretty sure American reporting, news etc are to blame. Also, USK/FSK is like the US now. Mortal Kombat XI? No problem, uncut release. Gal Gun 2? Not allowed. Though, the recent Gal Gun 2 European Switch release is allowed but it didn't get an age rating. So, it's considered worse than Mortal Kombat XI -_- I do know about those because I watched professional World of Tank matches for a while. Sometimes, they had one or two of those SPGs in the match-ups.

Ideally they say when it's an #ad but sometimes, they still don't. It used to be a huge issue some years ago and known people like TotalBiscuit picked it up and bettered the people a bit. Of course, there are also tons of Twitch streamers which use botting to increase their number to increase their visibility to increase their potential income (donations or subs). Likely. Damn them. At least some smaller companies are still likable. Speaking of smaller companies. Whoever is working for the mail-order store where Alicesoft mainly sells their stuff...they completely suck. When I wanted to go their mid-June, it was under maintenance because they apparently got hacked and the attacker got all the information they wanted. So they wanted to do an overhaul and it was supposed to go live mid-August again. That changed to end of September and now mid of October...

Which is what I do. UBlock Origin, NoScript and Ghostery with sensible browsing. Do they? Isn't it like 6 in the morning at the earliest? Currently, here, there is a lot of construction work going on. Also, slept just four hours again. Though, I did catch some additional sleep yesterday afternoon. Still not good.
