That's absolutely the point. They have specifically said the horrific conditions and risk of weather-related disaster is a "deterrent." Just because they're not directly executing people doesn't mean they're not trying to kill them.

Yeah, it's literally just about money. "Can I afford it?" means it's not even really about choosing where to live. It's just a last resort to avoid homelessness.

I assume game studios are currently extremely well secured on par with film production considering how much money goes into it. Back in the day, maybe not so much. But then you might also be limited by the capabilities of portable data storage. Kind of harder to smuggle out a dozen floppy disks than one thumb drive. Plus, they literally get the FBI to investigate if they notice something gets stolen, so it's really not a simple thing to just walk out of work one day with the source code of the game you've been working on for years.

Absolutely. Not because I think it would necessarily be better off, but because I don't want us to contribute to the empire and the loss of our economic output would devastate the US.

I remember emulating Gold/Silver before the US release, too. Though I swear I had some English translation that had your rival say "damn" and that was the coolest thing I could imagine.

We're going to literally start losing cities in the next few years, aren't we?

Part of the problem is that people who don't like him are ranking him at all, even last. You don't have to rank a candidate for NY mayor if you don't want them as mayor.

No doubt you get your money's worth on other hardware. And I'm a longtime emulator fan, but I recognize that they're a good step above the average person's comfort level when it comes to computer gaming.

If you treat all videogame platforms as essentially the same, yeah, definitely. But you can't buy Mario Kart on Steam.
