It was kind of neat in the beginning, at least in theory - and not just from a consumer perspective: Indies in particular benefited from it, since it raised awareness on their titles in addition to the big bucks from Microsoft coming in:

Eh, both the Steam Deck and the Gabecube are far too niche and unknown for that. I've used the Steam Deck on public transportation and pretty much everyone assumed that it was a Nintendo Switch at first - and I had to go to great length to explain what it was.

One notable exception (out of a small handful) was a mother who recognized it as something different and asked me a ton of questions about it, because she wanted to reward her studious son (who sat next to us wide-eyed, with increasing levels of giddiness) for his great marks with it.

Is this really a common sentiment among conservatives in the Netherlands?

Were fans even all that common on cases back then? I had a 486 clocked at 100 MHz that only needed the tiniest passive heat spreader - and this was years after turbo buttons were a thing.

I'm still salty about the Geforce 4 MX (which was just a slightly modified 2 MX, with none of the features of the newer 4-series), although that's more of a case of false marketing.

That one made CPUs run at a lower clock speed so that older games would run.

The number of people doing this is so infinitesimally small that even within the most enthusiast circles, it's practically unheard of. It's a footnote of a footnote, at best.

Except that they sent it out to people in Germany if they had their language set to one other than German. Using this symbols this way is a crime, by the way.

To paraphrase someone talking about why people climb mountains: Because it's there.

Getting this game to run on a phone that was never intended to do so is the technological equivalent of climbing a mountain. It's an interesting challenge, a neat way for someone to find an outlet for their skills and interests.

The S rune is not the only issue. By combination of runes, I meant the whole thing. All of these runes have been used by Nazis and extensively so. While the rune used by the SS is the most well known, this is like a best-of of which runes Heinrich Himmler and modern Nazis are especially fond of.

Holy hell, this does not look like an accident. This combination of runes does not just happen. Whoever did this at the company thought they could get away with it.
