dude I remember this outrage. Kind of funny that we now expect some inter-generational compatability from our consoles. I guess it's less scary for the platform holder now that most sales are digital.
And emulation is so much easier, so if you don't make legal access easy, you are stopping an easy revenue stream.
To be fair, siege protectors with a ton of outlets weren't a thing back then so it was a real struggle when you were already using your 2 outlets
So I'm pretty sure that was meant to be surge protection, but for a minute there i was thinking I totally missed out on the part of the 90s console wars where they rolled out the trebuchets.
