    It was mainly the fact that the games could easily be copied by anybody with a decent CD burner.

    Shortly after a game dropped, a guy would come around my work selling shady copies on cdr in jewel cases with bubble jet printed covers for $20.

    Can’t sell a system if nobody is buying games.

    Also, had a buddy that used a bootloader on it to watch downloaded anime back when only the must mainstream stuff was available in the West.
