if gamers weren't stupid they'd be excited to get into cool game libraries that got overshadowed in the past, but instead we have a gaming culture that went #FUCKKKKONAMI!!!!!!! over the Turbografx/PC Engine Mini cuz "no one cares about this stupid system" x.com
most aren't like Mike Matei who got into PC Engine & decided it's one of his favorite consoles in his late 30s/40s because he truly enjoys old games & wants to find more fun ones. it's about nostalgia and/or "retro chic" over games & systems already part of the anglophone "canon"
like yes I read "Sega's Western CEO" and my brain just registers it as "subhuman" but let's not pretend gamers aren't contributing to this too. "Matt McMuscles" says shit like "the Dreamcast had too much dated arcade design" & "there's no strategy in beat em ups" & he's e-famous.
oh yeah Sega suck & love to censor shit, emulation is preferable, but if people react in such a lame way to the idea of consoles with good underappreciated libraries getting Mini releases they absolutely won't bother emulating said libraries either x.com
