Comment the hype, the hype! (Score 1) 25

to this day I still cannot grasp the ridiculous amount of hype around the PS2 before launch, you had to be there to experience it, it's like the PS2 could cure both cancer and AIDS, it crushed the competition while the only available game at launch (in my area) was Fantavision a sort of fireworks simulator. It took a while but it actually became a solid system a few years later.

In my city and also the capital there has been a huge effort to effectively punish anyone using a car while simultaneously enshitifying all possible public transportation options available to the point where they are barely usable.

This has been a trend for awhile, most japanese music was only popular abroad due to piracy and they went to great lenghts to gatekeep it and geolock everything. Even 15year old youtube clips of music videos have been taken down. In the dawn of broadband internet and filesharing many artists gained notoriety and got to tour and sell worldwide because of this. Now that we have all the tools the platforms and technology to legally reach these artists, their labels and industry chooses to geolock it making even harder to reach than it was in the early internet days, so now their music industry became stagnant and their artists stopped touring and selling abroad. Well done Japan.
