2022-08-02 22:41:31 +0000 UTCThatβs exactly how I played my first dead space as well! Honestly, gaming cafΓ©s introduced me to so many games but listening again I realised I was gushing about cs way too much but there are so many fantastic franchises that I played purely because the cafe owners in my areas are massive nerds
Sam
2022-08-02 22:36:00 +0000 UTCOh i also have this fond memory of playing Dead Space. Growing up most people did not have a powerful pc that could play games like that but our local gaming cafe did and the owner of the cafe was very much into gaming and he used to keep up with gaming websites, so he used to install whatever new game that was trending on Ign. And thats how we all got to play Dead Space

2022-08-02 22:27:23 +0000 UTCThis was a surprising episode. I liked it alot. As someone who grew up in India, i can certainly say Sam was on point about almost everything. Gaming is a very communal activity there with games like cs1.6, dota, age of mythology etc. I just wanna add some context as to why Sony is such a market leader in India. Sony products have been in India for a very long time and whether they sold cassette players, dvd players, walkmans back in the day or now with TVs, etc..regardless of the product, Sony has built a perception around its products in Indian community which is "Quality but bit more expensive than local Indian brands". They were able to successfully target that middle to upper middle class family brackets very well and also to their credit their products in India are quite good in quality. Hence people think of Sony products as investements rather than just a piece of hardware. Most families who buy Sony products do so, so that they wont have to deal with repairs/low quality products for atleast 4 to 5 years. In terms of gaming, I have seen some gaming cafes keep xbox, xbox 360 back in 2000s but that red ring of death really soured sentiments towards xbox among the gaming cafe business owners. As Sam said, its not exactly cheap to just go and buy another console so these business preferred Playstation over Xbox. That means the whole community in that area only gets to play on PS. India is definitely a very talented and smart country, its sad that there is no dedicated game dev studio there, atleast not yet, cuz some of the stories in indian mythology has the potential to make excellent narrative driven games.
