[QUOTE="Taleweaver, post: 6911338, member: 237261"] That really depends on what you consider "the Video Game Industry as it is today". If Belgium was not to exist, there would be less games as well, and as such, strictly speaking, it wouldn't be as it is. Even though we barely had any games that influenced the main industry. As to the larger effect...I'm inclined to say USA has the most impact. But again: what's the definition? I've got a feeling you don't really read what Veho is really saying: most hardware and software development originated in the West. Japan's main influence is in the consoles, and that is mainly because nintendo, sega and sony were originally BETTER at packaging them and selling it to their audiences than the West. Take them out of the picture, and the competition that didn't survive (yes...coleco and atari) would be in a much better financial situation and be able to expand rather than close up or worse*. And while that reality might seem weird and frightening, it's not like those companies wouldn't sooner or later understand what their audiences really wanted. The best case scenario would be that the gaming industry had a far greater PC branch than currently. *just take a look at that mobile rollercoaster tycoon game and tell me that it wouldn't be better if atari stopped making games to begin with. ;) [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
