16bit Sensation - Vol. 2 Ch. 5 - 1996

Quite funny the admission of a japanese programmer to just ignore the change of times and instead of adapting their mentality to a worlwide common framework, they obsess with the hardware. Even to this day most japanese video game developer really suck balls at doing anything on PC, Capcom being the outlier because it's probably the japanese company with a healthier relationship with its public outside Japan. The rest are so terrible working with PCs.

The reason why many programmers are fired today is because of the same thing. AI actually replaced the junior programmer jobs so only senior developers can do the problem solving task. Project Managers in IT Industry are not needed right now because they are now replaced by SAAS.

The child nerd is already an extinct species. If you see the intelligence of humans today is at 85 - 110 at 90% - 95% of the population.

It is now the normalization age.

By "still are like that" you mean hold a grudge against Microsoft? Seeing as this story takes place in the 90's, I think it makes sense that a child programming nerd would be pissed at Microsoft.

Remember that antitrust actions came to head when Microsoft was sued by the federal government, 20 states, and the District of Columbia in 1998. After the trial, Bill Gates was widely revealed as being a snobbish shady bully, not the benevolent coding genius he portrayed himself as. It also came to light that he had been seeking affairs with female employees. It hurt his public persona so badly that he resigned his position as CEO in 2000, and started to focus on Gates Foundation activities. He needed to reform his image so he could pretend to be a "good rich guy." Bill remained director of the board until 2020.

By that timeline, it matches what you said about things becoming more open by the late 90's/early 2000's. Microsoft was ordered to cease its predatory monopolizing under threat of being split up.

Yes, Microsoft evil, Bill Gates drinks blood and all that jazz, but what I have been talking about all this time is the mentality of most japanese developers of putting all their eggs in one basket and that mentality coming to bite in their ass years later. And the ones suffering that are the end users, even to this day it's a miserable experience to play a japanese games on a system that was not the original target while the rest of the world tries to branch out.

There you have the last example with the MGS collection, works relatively ok in PS5, it's a disgrace in PC.

RIP PC98
Long Live Windows95

Never missed DOS anyway, Windows 95 was like the start of user-friendly machines.

It was also the start of the TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT propaganda in offices. Which is actually crap. 2023 it is about TOTAL LIFE MANAGEMENT propaganda and the firing of managers as a permanent position ( management is a waste trend ).
