That article led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 which I didn't know about, but is very impressive.
- bena 4y agoReally, that's amazing. It's a seminal point in video game history. It effectively divides the era of American driven development and Japanese driven development. Like, I knew this day was coming, when events stop being common culture and start becoming history, but it's still wild to see.
- lkbm 4y agoI could believe it was well-known when it happened, but I suspect that most people not in the industry didn't know, or barely noticed. By ten years later, it seems quite unlikely most people would know. I'm 40, so I was ~1 when it happened. If it had happened when I was 15 I likely would've been paying attention, but by 1997 it was ancient history.
