Biggest mistakes in gaming history

Kill yaself. The larry might be a larry but 360 was that work.

360 was a joke. And should've died off the fukkery of the Red Ring of Death.

Working Designs going under.

That was a great company.

I owe the experience of the rebooted Lunar games to them.

Oh, et....
That is the first wack game.
that made having a guide.
or listening to other gamers, essential in the gaming world.

The death of video games was crazy cause that shyt was so bad.
They were destroying Pac man coinops and steam rolling shyt.
You walk by a crib and all the games was in the trash and nobody was fukking with taking it out of the trash or fukking with the shyt.
Like et and just what was happening ruined everything.
Coleco vision saved the day,....and held it up longer enough.

for the introduction of that legendary grey box,....the salvation to us all as gamers.

Sega of America ruined the Saturn for us by jumping the gun

Japan was eating off it until like 2001

How did they jump the gun? Launching an inferior product before Sony? I don't really remember why Saturn failed

Sega Saturn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In March 1995, Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske announced that the Saturn would be released in the U.S. on "Saturnday" (Saturday) September 2, 1995.[46][47] However, Sega of Japan mandated an early launch to give the Saturn an advantage over the PlayStation.[48] Therefore, at the first Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles on May 11, 1995, Kalinske gave a keynote presentation for the upcoming Saturn in which he revealed the release price at US$399 ($449 including a bundled copy of Virtua Fighter[49]), and described the features of the console. Kalinske also revealed that, due to "high consumer demand",[49] Sega had already shipped 30,000 Saturns to Toys "R" Us, Babbage's, Electronics Boutique, and Software Etc. for immediate release.[46] This announcement upset retailers who were not informed of the surprise release, including Best Buy and Walmart;[23][50][51] KB Toys responded by dropping Sega from its lineup.[46] Sony subsequently unveiled the retail price for the PlayStation: Sony Computer Entertainment America president Steve Race took the stage, said "$299", and then walked away to applause.[23][52][53] The Saturn's release in Europe also came before the previously announced North American date, on July 8, 1995, at a price of GB₤399.99.[14] European retailers and press did not have time to promote the system or its games, leading to poor sales.[54] After its European launch on September 29, by early November 1995 the PlayStation had already outsold the Saturn by a factor of three in the United Kingdom, where it was reported that Sony allocated ₤20 million to market the system during the holiday season compared to Sega's ₤4 million.[55][56]

Dreamcast being able to run full blown backups OUT THE DAMN BOX

breh I think I owned like 2 legit games for that system growing up. Soul calibur and sonic adventure

I didn't even know this until after the Dreamcast was dead either.

Popped in burned copy of 3rd Strike and was blown the fukk away

Most you ever needed was a boot disc and you could burn that too
