Chapter 420 - 420 149 Mr. Ke Sweating Buckets Arent You_1

?Chapter 420: Chapter 149: Mr. Ke, Sweating Buckets, Aren’t You?_1 Chapter 420: Chapter 149: Mr. Ke, Sweating Buckets, Aren’t You?_1 The methods SE used are nothing unusual in the modern world of myriad exploitative monetization strategies in games.

But in that era, when the entire gaming industry was focused on ‘making more entertaining games’ and ‘selling more handheld consoles,’

SE took the lead in breaking away from the pack, initiating a wave of massive profiteering through the sale of ‘DLC.’

Of course, this DLC was not like others.

The handheld consoles had an additional port into which a separate miniature cartridge could be inserted.

This cartridge, when inserted into the handheld console alongside the main ‘Electronic Pet’ cartridge,

would add numerous interactive features to ‘Electronic Pet.’

But here’s the catch.

This cartridge wasn’t sold directly.

Players had to go to offline pachinko parlors and play pachinko.

They would have to collect a certain number of small steel balls to exchange for a ‘DLC’ cartridge.

According to subsequent data, the average cost to obtain one of these ‘Electronic Pet’ add-on cartridges was about 100,000 yen.

In terms of the 1980s Huaxia Nation, that would be roughly equivalent to “1000 units.”
