Remember when Sega used to offer these insane freebies? Why don't companies do this anymore?

Excellent article. Lots of areas of gaming outside the U.S. are essential to understanding gaming history and need exploring. The U.S. wasn't the only place where gaming occurred, and so much fascinating history happened in Europe, Asia, and South America.
Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:

Netanyahu: "You can't be president of 🇺🇸 last time I checked right?"
Elon Musk: "Not officially."
Netanyahu: *laughs* — "OK, so you're the unofficial president..."

Im an expert at not looking at ads that pop up on webpages. Can't recall a single one I've seen. When I'm not using ad blocker I mean. Every time you don't notice an ad, a company president cries.

Much is made over PS1s $299 price vs. Saturns $399. It's deceptive. NA Saturn had Virtua Fighter as pack-in while PS1 had no pack in, thus add $50 for Ridge Racer. Saturn had internal memory while PS1 didn't, so add $40 for a memory card. Sony did not give a better deal in Sept. '95.

I’m trying to imagine the bubble of amoral corporate douchery you have to live in to think that saying “we guard against unnecessary care” is better than just shutting the fuck up.

The CEO assassin read a book, booked a hostel, then wore an expensive fit, wielded a likely WW2 era gun, biked to Starbucks and ordered water with 2 energy bars, had a good chat and giggle, then proceeded to kill a billionaire with specially engraved bullets, all that before 8am.

The NYT piece with the (smoking hot) CCTV shots of the UnitedHealthcare suspect's face, along with requests from the NYPD for tips based on the photos, being paywalled is the most 2024 media thing ever.
