Ah, think back anon. Driving a couple hundred miles to the nearest city to get that game or console you wanted so badly. The ride was both glee and agony. The drive home was a lesson in patience.
I miss that.

Customers are cattle, anon. They're dumb animals with more money than brains, and it's the capitalists' job to relieve them of that money.
The capitalists aren't to blame, though, the customers are. Being cattle is a choice.

You are a smart man, anon.
This is typically what the other board assumes when talking about capitalists. They didn't force them to buy, but they did persuade them, and they got big due to that willingness to keep being supported by the smaller people, eventually growing.
They didn't just magically decide to be rich.
It's simple economics.
The federal reserve is a whole 'nother story though
You get my jist.

The best part is how game "journalist" Bob Mackey got completely triggered by this almost 30 year old news report, all because John Stossel is a lolberg. Even better is that Stossel actually admits to buying an NES because his wife wanted to play Tetris, while Bob spergs out about John somehow hating video games.

Uh, you do know that the American economy is much more vital to any business success than anywhere else in the world, right? Even China isn't as important due to their "economy" being their 20% of the world's population,

It was mixed bag filled mostly with shit, but it was certainly influential. If it wasn't for the UK home computer scene for example we wouldn't have had the mentality of being able to mod games, or games made by bedroom programmers/ indy developers. That's not even taking into consideration the ridiculous amount of programmers that started out in the scene and ended up paving the way for using Silicon Graphics workstations to make most early 3D games.
I mean, I still wouldn't recommend getting a BBC micro collection, but you have to admit gaming overall would be a lot worse if Nintendo had an actual monopoly worldwide

When violent videogames were restricted they had good reasons to back it up, but "act like a man" and "let's kick some demon butt" sound pretty christian, unless he's a fucking kike like Saarkisian. Then nothing has fucking changed.
