No exceptions to acab not even this

It's POSSIBLE if you can substantiate the story but there's not a common thread between all these games. Boards with loose chips like this was the common way people played copied games at the time, the odds there's special data on these is very slim.

OH! That makes way more sense

This thread is literally in reply to a video clip of it in the show, that is the thing I am talking about
frankcifaldi.bsky.social
Yeah I knew about the changes for licensed product I just didn't know they edited actual video on the show

Whoa their T-shirts got edited in foreign cuts, I had no idea

I am a single issue voter and this is my issue
frankcifaldi.bsky.social
that's such a good way of putting it, I agree
frankcifaldi.bsky.social
it would be very funny if this reply is what led to my eventual diagnosis
frankcifaldi.bsky.social
yeah they had a full-time writer in house! I was brought in to manage him

Our product was incredible, I agree. I was a subscriber before I worked there. The original launcher with the spinning wheels is some of my favorite UX of all time. We had a VERY talented team.

Just want to say that I have tremendous nostalgia for Gametap's whole deal. Steam Big Picture Mode is only starting to get close to matching the vibes of Gametap's launcher, and they're still probably never gonna quite get there.

Anyway, just posting all that for...no particular reason. No idea why I'm thinking about it today. And as a caveat, I was nowhere near a position where I understood the intricacies of the overall business, these are just my observations from looking at player behavior and subscription numbers.

Sure, I think there is an audience who wants to be fed whatever content you put in front of them like it's a video game Golden Corral, but it's a small one, and I don't think the business model works unless your overhead is tiny.
