But pandering to them is what the companies want to do, as they believe that the gamers are an already captured audience, it is the non-gamers that they need to appeal to in order to expand their customer base. This is obviously dumb as fuck.
It was even worse, they would steal subs as their own translators back then were people who were kicked out of almost every other fan sub group as they were shit at their job. It would appear those same translators are still working for CR.
When it comes to these larger companies yes. One of the only VTubers I watch stream is just someone who use to stream with their Webcam but found it annoying to have to worry about how they looked, so just started using a 2D/3D model. She is just being herself playing Final Fantasy 14 mostly as she always has.
As someone who went to university that had a lot of Chinese international students I can say that all of them had no idea what the fuck they were doing and were just paying for a pass. I've even talked with current professors and they are pressured to let the international students pass because they bring in so much more money then domestic.
The more I've learned about the Red Ring issue the more I question how successful the 360 actually was. They claim an 80 million units sold, but when you had a failure rate of 54% to RROD (For the models before the Elite) how many people were actually using a working console? For comparison, the Yellow light of Death on the PS3 (on the Fats) was about a 10% failure rate and the Wii had a failure rate of about 3%, industry standard is to expect 5%. And as you've said, no success in JPN at all. Anecdotally, everyone I knew in AUS that played regularly on a 360 ended up needing 3 or more consoles over the generation.
Eh, I like XVI, only issue I had are again with Lolcowlisation, some of the english script was just so dumbed down. Can't have Jill angry at the child rapists in the english version, all other languages it is ok though.
Not in Australia you wouldn't. Using a legal firearm to kill/incapacitate someone who has just killed 6 people and injured 19 others will get you more time in jail then using an illegal firearm to do the same thing. Fucking joke of a country.
Wow, I have the complete opposite opinion of the Switch Pro controller. Other then its good battery life, it feels cheap, the buttons are bad, D-pad is atrocious. Joy Cons are worse though just because of their tiny size, I just can't use them for more then like 30 mins without cramps.
I agree over all, though I want to point out that market forces in other countries are not the same as what happened in US/JPN. In AUS for instance, it took quite a bit longer for the price of DVD players to come down, making the choice of a PS2 to keep the kids happy as well might have seen some more sales. Though in the long run not enough to effect global sales, AUS is a tiny market after all.
They should have them. Being one of the few countries that make the cores for nuclear power plants. Part of the way they make money from them is forcing you into a contract to buy the enriched fuel from them for 20 years.
Saw another good one with her standing with a bunch of Gray Knights preparing to purge the heretics.
