Seemingly my Google pixel phone has stopped connecting to the Internet with other browsers. So I'm stuck using Google Chrome on it. 😠

Same. There is something about holding onto a physical copy that digital will never replace. You could also let friends borrow them and resell them.

Yes? I want to agree, it's an increase of pressure from the surrounding waters.

I can totally see why back then, 40 years ago, they felt like it was discriminatory. It's like adding the word "Chinese" or "Russian" Infront of a product. Seeing that country name infront of product might reduce the amount of people that purchase the item. The initial feeling of discrimination can last for years, even if the word and the world outlook has moved on. It's not so easy to tell someone to forget it especially if you need to make money off of it for your livelihood. Of course some of those games are famous now a days, but if you had a rough start in your 20-30, you'll remember it for a long time.
