"This PC Gaming Alliance isn't excluding Steam (Valve); Valve can hop on the bandwagon as well. Speaking of bandwagons, what this alliance aims to accomplish is to become a unified voice; first, to dispel the myth that PC gaming is dead (far from it, and it never has been close to dying), and second, to provide a unified voice within the industry, mainly with respect to the hardware - what performance targets to aim for."

laputaquelepario commented on Shigeru Miyamoto, Reformed Gambler and Smoker

"Miyamoto's pachinko pastime could explain his attachment to coin gathering in his game design... From what I understand, a good percentage of Pachinko parlors are operated by the Yakuza. These parlors often lack any windows because they don't want patrons to see that they've played straight to the next day. More frightening, however, is how amphetamines are pumped into the central air conditioning so that patrons experience the "gambling rush". Miyamoto, pachinkos, gambling, amphetamines, 1up mushrooms and goombas."
