I mean Russia had the Dendy and not the NES. Maybe that doesn't apply to this, but yeah some countries didn't get a Nintendo. Dendy is the NES to people who grew up in Russia.
Sounds like they're being stupid about a stupid comment.

i get the feeling it one of those 'you'll never work in this town again' things? except i can't tell if it's real or just in the heads of these people that they go after? they always seem to be so intimidated...
what makes them the even the least bit offensive??

I make pretty much the same comments on here to our collection of 8/16-bit avatars who for some reason think it was cool to be playing Sega Master System in 1996 or some crazy shit.

A guy thinking SNES sucks is not less capable of knowing the SNES library of RPGs and having a clear and objective opinion about it.
People have become unbelievably dumb.
Bitmap Books suck anyway. They remove negative reviews from their site to pretend their books are fantastic. The one about all JRPGs was riddled with mistakes and a total waste of money. They never published my negative review.

Cancel culture does not exist.
It's been replaced by "give all your royalties to charity forever" culture.
They didn't have the balls to cancel the guy completely because they would probably lose too much content for an already planned and announced book.
Shame. I wasn't going to buy this one, but I own and have enjoyed several of their books, at least for the printing quality and the iconographic content.

I bought their War of the Worlds book. The art was really bad.
Most of their retro books seem to just be pasting some key art and screenshots on the pages and then calling it a coffee table book.
Nerds will see this combination of Googled images and a description of the game which an AI could've written and be like "I need this"

Brazil also didn't get the NES, it was a shit ton of clones thou. Maybe the most known was Dynavision 2 - the first one was an Atari 2600 clone

Imagine you find out they are in cahoots with the charity, ironically that would be a classic 3rd world country corruption move.
I have the Speedball book they made, not opened it yet, seemed like they went into good detail with the screenshots applied a custom filter made by Tim Lottes. I can't speak to the quality of the writing though.

They could make a book about it.

I like how some dude posts a few tweets and says "Over this?" and everyone assumes that's it. Do you *really* think that's all it took for them to take this step? Don't you think that if that was it the author would be screaming about it on social media? His silence speaks louder than words. In that same thread, if you scroll down and read it all, someone posts "He is a complete asshole and pest. Literally plagues Facebook groups with his trolling."
You can have a debate on whether or not a company should take its employees (freelance or not) to task for social media posts, sure, but acting like this guy is a saint and being crucified for nothing is silly.
LOL at you all talking about never buying Bitmap Books and going ride or die for this dude without doing a shred of investigating first.

All the clichés of poor third world countries. Discriminating someone for his origins, I mean the definition of racism.
