And firefight!

Are you trolling? Korea has a 97% literacy rate and is in the top 20 of best educated countries in the world.

Mexican here, standard of living and costs are lower. Our minimum wage has always been a joke but government doesn’t raise it because inflation. I’m too ignorant on those matters and really don’t know if that is true.

Made for the rental market?

It was hard so it would suck for people who rented the game. Developers and publishers didn’t get a cut for each rental.

Not as much as if there was no rental business. It was bad for them, Nintendo even tried to stop blockbuster from renting their games. They weren’t designing games thinking about the rentals.

Game developers didn’t profit from rents.

Oh I’m aware of the true definition of boomer but for many teeanger if you are older than 25 you are a boomer.

Ha! I guess I already qualify as a boomer. I’m 43 and been a gamer since the commodore days. I play everything that comes my way if time permits, from indies like islanders for a relaxing me time, to mega AAA F2P monsters like Fortnite to have a laugh with my sons.

This type of games are free to play. So a bunch of kids who are friends can start playing at any time even without money. If some of them like the game, they’ll stay as a group for the social aspect.

I don’t see any wrong in it. Its just different of what I did 30 years ago.

I share my steam linrary with my two kids. Gave them 200+ games. They still play Fortnite and Roblox because that is what their friends play. When I was young the biggest games were single player and you shared stories with your friends. Now you play with them online.
