No, get all conspiratorial. There's so many conspirators out there, running so many conspiracies, and the whole "conspiracy theorist" thing is a shield used to defend these fucks. Also, conspiracy theorists on average seem to have a better track record than the mainstream media, so there's that...
The Yakuza worked with the upper class mob? I had no idea. I mean sure, most people who research videogame history find this out the first year, and are advised how to keep safe when doing the research. The fact that it is easier to point to who isn't in it than who is.
Sure yeah, we could point to a lot of weird politics that look like no ey laundering schemes, but it just isn't possible.
Most people who study the history of videogames have a teacher. The teacher waits for them to find some incongruence with the narrative, and then explains the art that's missing.
The Ultimate History of Videogames names one of the people, but says he was just a hidden investor. If you look up his name on Google Books, those pages are not shown. When you look up the same name in other books, all pages with that name is blocked. You have to buy the book to read the name.
Why? Because that investor shows up in Sierra's history as well. Steve Jobs had him help with the start of Apple. And now Google is blocking the name from public view.
I know people who have had bomb threats on their house if they published that name.
Then you find out that arcades came from gambling halls that were run by the mob. They were a legitimate front for a larger organization. This was how it was treated by every organization in the world. In Japan, the only companies that didn't threaten lives and work off of Gambling were Nintendo and Namco. They both started in the mob, but made enough from videogames to go legit. This didn't stop them from working with companies that were just fronts. Some of your favorite games were made to cover up gambling and prostitution rings.
Then we have companies that made games for the military. The simulation sector was better at 3D computing than anyone else. When Nintendo needed help in designing the N64, they openly used military tech. Pilot wings was by a military simulation company that did so well they became a videogame branch. The simulation company is still around. Playstation processors started showing up in NASA space probes. Sony does not openly talk about it.
If you didn't think the Pearson group, aka the establishment's textbook-for-kickback slush fund, was in bed with people as utterly corrupt as they are, you haven't been paying attention.
All those useless politicians and bureaucrats who stabbed America in the back and then got a big advance on a "book deal" for a book no one read? Pearson did that with taxpayer funds leftover from a K-12 textbook monopoly.

Bizarre conspiracies get used to discredit 'conspiracy theories' in general though, which is any questioning of the establishment.
Everything is used to discredit conspiracy theories, though. Fuck 'em, I'll say weird shit if I want to.
Religion has nothing to do with it!

Can you explain this?
Most people who study the history of videogames have a teacher. The teacher waits for them to find some incongruence with the narrative, and then explains the art that's missing.
I didn't quite understand the 'keep safe' part. You meant physical safety? Surely, it's not that dangerous to just study videogames, or am I naive?

So yes, there's a lot to be careful around.
