Live Service Games Are Great and Awful

Regarding Still Wakes the Dead.... Who the actual F**k is complaining that they used the color yellow to guide the player through the level.... Does that seriously break anyone's immersion to the point where they have to complain about it to the devs and everyone online ?! 😂 This sounds more like a comment one guy made and a bunch of people liked it and wanted to chime in with their negative attitudes. God that honestly pisses me off 😂😂😂 (bringing out my negative attitude lol) I actually told my wife about it while we were playing and talking about gamer intuition and she thought that was so cool lol.

The yellow paint thing reminded me of a paper we had to read in grad school about the psychology of color. Oh yeah, it's a whole thing, lol.

You're a bit incorrect about the Dreamcast and copying the games. It is true that there wasn't really any type of protection on the discs themselves, but that's because the Dreamcast used proprietary disks that held more data than a regular CD. The thing is, Sega left code in the bios that could boot a game from a burnable CD for the sake of developers prototyping their games on real hardware. Hackers discovered the code and you still needed a Dreamcast to rip the games but then you could use a regular CD burner to make bootable discs. You could not simply put the game in your home computer and make a copy of it.
