A report last week suggested that consumers would have to pay to upgrade their existing PS4 games to make use of Ps4 Pro features. Thankfully, it's not true.
Arcade cabinets tied the length of a game to the next coin. Here is how operator switches shaped that business, and what changed when gaming moved onto networks.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
