  1. You moved the goalposts

  2. How did the soviets make Tetris if technology only exists under capitalism?

  1. No, I said make a decent game now. As in, a capital intensive one that uses top designers, artists, coders etc etc. Who is making those games today? The Vietnamese? The Cubans?

  2. One game in 1985 versus the multi multi billion capitalist games industry?
