So #xbox and #nintendo can track the journey of a physical game in the preowned market because of its unique id. They can tell if u sell it or just loan it to a friend Valuable data, wonder how much they use it or will in the future to justify all digital? #gaming #physicalmedia

Video game music legend Chris Hülsbeck, known for his work on Turrican, really likes the Vectrex Mini! It’s always a pleasure to meet and chat with such fascinating people at Gamescom.
